Yesterday Deputies were patrolling the area of Hustleville Rd. when a yellow and black motorcycle was observed with no tag. When the deputy attempted to stop the motorcycle the driver fled at a high rate of speed. After a short chase the driver of the motorcycle laid the bike down near Alder Springs Grocery and fled on foot.

Hearing radio traffic of a pursuit, Guntersville PD had officers in rout to assist with the chase. When Guntersville Officers arrived on scene, all law enforcement then went behind the trailer where the offender was last seen running towards.

A white male was discovered hiding under the mobile home and was ordered to come out. The offender complied and was identified as Joseph Daniel Baugh of Albertville and the motorcycle he was riding had been stolen from Etowah County. Baugh was taken into custody and charged with Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and attempting to elude.

Baugh is currently being held in the Marshall County Jail on a $6500.00 bond
