CAMPBELL Co., Va. â A high-speed chase through three Southside counties yesterday afternoon ended in an arrest. The Pittsylvania County Sheriff s Office was called in as an assistance because [the pursuit] started in Henry County, came into Pittsylvania and ended in Campbell, Pittsylvania Sheriff s Cpt. Corey Webb said. When the chase ended, the vehicle was actually going too fast and his vehicle spun out before any contact was made, he continued. No officer hit him and made him spin out, he tried to go too fast around a corner and spun out on his own.
The suspect, Shane Wilson of Evington, had a warrant outstanding for a parole violation.
