The incident occurred around 5 p.m. on Friday night.
Traffic on Lenora Church Road, near Pate Road, was being diverted on Friday evening. Snellville Police confirmed that a suspect fled from an officer and hit a power pole. Due the damage, Georgia Power and Cox Cable required that the entire intersection be shut down for safety purposes, since the pole was being held up by existing wires only. As of 9 p.m., the road was still blocked, but a Facebook message by Snellville Police stated that it should reopen soon after.

The case involves Joanna Hayes, who is accused of murdering her daughter-in-law in the Snellville Target parking lot in 2009.

Joanna Hayes was found guilty of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm in …
