A traffic stop attempt by the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office ended in a pursuit that crossed into Jackson County before resulting in an arrest.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, on August 30, 2025, a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle driven by William Langston of Tallahassee on Airport Highway. Langston refused to pull over, leading deputies on a chase that continued into Jackson County. The pursuit followed several rural roads, including Piano Road and Sloan Road, before coming to an end at a residence on Fowler Road.
Langston was taken into custody and admitted to deputies that he fled because he did not have a valid driver’s license and wanted to return the vehicle and passenger home.
He was booked into the Jackson County Jail and is facing charges of Fleeing and Attempting to Elude and Driving While License Suspended.
