Media summary: Phillip Lamar Carter was killed when a pickup truck crashed during a police chase. At around 1:50 a.m. police said someone reported seeing Carter and Delbert C. Nelson Jr. steal a flat screen TV from Dillons. The witness gave a partial license plate and a description of the truck. An officer saw the pickup on US 54 and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver allegedly refused to pull over. Officers and deputies chased the truck toward Augusta. Augusta police set up at the edge of town to stop the pickup, but the driver turned around when he saw them and headed west on Kellogg. After about a quarter of a mile, the pickup turned south into a field and kept driving with police in pursuit. The truck went over an embankment and plunged 30 feet into a creek below. Nelson, 54, crawled out and was arrested. Carter was trapped inside and died at the scene.
