The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the Chatham County conviction of Charles Sapp, who was found guilty of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer.

The case began when officers observed Sapp leaving the scene of a knife fight and later attempting to evade police as a passenger in a van. When the driver refused to stop, Sapp exited the vehicle, ignored the officer’s commands to halt, and charged toward him before being subdued with a taser.
