VALDOSTA, Ga. (WSAV) — A man was arrested in Valdosta on several charges after a motorized scooter chase, law enforcement said on Tuesday. Around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Valdosta Police Department (VPD) officers and detectives were on the 600 block of East Ann St. for a separate incident when they identified Zabian Andre Bellamy, 43. VPD said that they confirmed he had active arrest warrants through the Tift County Sheriff’s Office and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Bellamy refused to pull over and tried to flee from the traffic stop on a motor scooter, officials said. While following him, VPD said their lead officer saw a firearm on Bellamy's hip. Officers pursued Bellamy until he wrecked in a parking lot on North Ashley Street. After a brief struggle, Bellamy was arrested and detectives seized a shotgun that had been reported stolen, a handgun, a quantity of Alpha-PVP and cocaine, they said. “This was incredible teamwork between our officers and detectives. This offender’s actions put our officers and our citizens at risk, but because of the persistence of our staff, he was taken into custody without anyone getting injured.” Said Chief Leslie Manahan. Bellamy was transported to Lowndes County Jail. Police said that he is charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, theft by receiving stolen property, possession of Alpha-PVP with the intent to distribute, possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute, obstruction of an officer, fleeing and attempting to elude and other traffic violations.
