A 35 year old Gadsden man has been charged with multiple
charges after he led authorities on a
chase through the snow Wednesday night after stealing a woman’s truck, before
crashing it and getting arrested in Alabama City. Colin Greer Goins, has been
charged with first-degree receiving stolen property, disorderly conduct,
attempting to elude, having a switched/expired tag and no insurance. Police say he is also wanted in Madison and Shelby
counties for other charges, including several felonies.
Police said that during Wednesday nights heavy snow, a
30-year-old woman got out of her Chevrolet Tahoe to shop at the Grub Mart on
West Meighan Boulevard. She left the car running and told police she only
planned to grab a few items.
When she came back, her truck was gone, and she reported it
stolen to the police. Police caught up with the truck and chased it throughout
downtown Gadsden before the officer eventually lost sight of Goins.
After fleeing from one officer, Goins allegedly got behind
another officer’s vehicle and started chasing him. The officer was transporting
a prisoner at that time, so he radioed to Etowah County Sheriff’s deputies and
other police officers, who began pursuing Goins again.
Goins eventually crashed the Tahoe into a ditch on Perkins
Street and after trying to escape on foot, he was arrested by police. A wrecker
pulled the truck out of the ditch and it was returned to its owner.
Goins is being held without bond in the Etowah County
Detention Center.
