Shortly before 11:30 a.m. a witness called 911 stating that a white Honda sedan with pink rims was driving recklessly in the area of State Road 85 and College Boulevard and the passengers inside the vehicle were motioning for help. The caller followed the vehicle to the Hideaway area of Valparaiso where it stopped. Deputies arrived and located the vehicle but Barnes had fled on foot into the woods. Both passengers, an adult woman and juvenile male, were unharmed. The OCSO, Niceville Police Department, Valparaiso Police Department and Florida Highway Patrol established a perimeter and took Barnes into custody following a brief foot chase.
