Deputies spent Wednesday night monitoring the area of Walton County between County Highway 395 and Inlet Beach, along the U.S. Highway 98 corridor, and continued to have a large presence in the area Thursday morning, according to a WCSO social media post.
Panama City Beach police engaged the suspect vehicle in Bay County about 3 p.m. Wednesday and pursued the vehicle west into Walton County.

FORT WALTON BEACH A carjacking and vehicle theft in Mossy Head turned into a long-distance high-speed chase that resulted in several vehicles being damaged and ended in Fort Walton Beach with a man and a woman in custody, according to law enforcement agencies in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
The individuals, identified as 18-year-old Elijah Jones of Fort Walton Beach and 23-year-old Megan Frazier of Niceville, allegedly rammed and carjacked a vehicle off State Road 285 in Mossy Head early Wednesday, according to Walton County Sheriff s Office spokeswoman Corey Dobridnia.
