OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 08/07/2022, at approximately 4:45 a.m., Bulloch County Sheriff's Office Deputy Dylan Walden attempted to stop a vehicle driven by 27-year-old Ashton Mingle on Pulaski Road west of the Statesboro Bypass. Before initiating the stop, Walden checked the vehicle registration and learned that Mingle was driving with a suspended license and was wanted on an outstanding felony warrant. Mingle continued driving away while Deputy Walden pursued.
The pursuit continued west on Pulaski Road toward the Bulloch-Candler county line. According to the sheriff's office and the released dash-camera video, speeds were moderate during most of the pursuit before increasing to more than 100 mph as Mingle approached the Lotts Creek bridge. Mingle's vehicle struck the bridge, became airborne, and crashed into the creek below.
Deputies entered the water, freed Mingle from the wreckage, and attempted lifesaving measures until emergency medical personnel arrived. Mingle was pronounced dead at the scene. The Georgia State Patrol investigated the fatal crash. Sheriff Noel Brown later authorized the public release of Deputy Walden's dash-camera video after requests from the media and public, and Mingle's family received a copy before it was released publicly.
