The officers went to the fast-food restaurant, where witnesses told them a man wearing a medical facemask entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at employees before demanding money. The suspect then fled the scene in a red Mustang.
After searching the area, officials say an officer spotted the suspect, identified as 23-year-old Isacc Hammond of Fort Benning, and began to chase him. During the chase, police say Hammond lost control of his vehicle, which flew into the air and crashed into a sign.
