Law enforcement officers from three separate agencies linked a Monday-morning car chase, where a man and woman were arrested for car theft, to a third person who had been traveling with the pair.Georgia State Patrol Post 45 Commander Sgt. Brad Mosher gave chase around 7:15 a.m. Monday to a car reported stolen from Eagle Villas near the Georgia Southern University campus. Bulloch County sheriff’s deputies, Statesboro police and members of the Statesboro-Bulloch County Crime Suppression Team joined the chase, catching the woman driver and her male passenger, but there was more to the story, said Bulloch County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jared Akins.While Christian Noah Anderson, 18, Miller Street, Waycross and Kayla Susan Raulerson, 24, Dixon Road, Waycross, were the only two in the car, further investigation linked them to another man arrested in a separate incident Monday, he said.Joseph Wayne Standridge, 27, Lakeside Drive, Appling, was apprehended when Deputy Randall Norman and his K9 partner Gismo were on patrol on Highway 24 and saw Standridge acting suspiciously and fleeing, he said.When Standridge refused to obey orders to stop, Norman deployed Gismo, a new addition to the sheriff’s department, and the dog stopped Standridge from flight, Akins said. Standridge was suspected in a reported burglary at a B. Stubbs Road home nearby, he said.Further investigation revealed all three came to Statesboro in a car stolen from Wrens, he said.
