Police Chase Suspect
All Over 1-26 To
Make Arrest Friday
A suspect in the burglary of
Holy Cross Episcopal Church
and several other break-ins in
four counties led police on a
chase up and down Saluda
Mountain Friday evening.
Thomas Thurman Dillard, in
his late 30s, was finally arrested
when he abandoned his car near
the rest area south of Colum
bus and tried to flee into the
woods.
Polk County Sheriffs deputies
and Columbus Police Officer
Chris Abril captured Dillard at
the interstate boundary fence.
Police in Jackson County tried
to arrest Dillard Thursday night
at a motel, Polk County Sheriff
Boyce Carswell said. Dillard
escaped out a window there, but
$10,000 in stolen goods was
recovered from his car.
The Polk County Sheriffs
office was notified that Dillard
might be traveling north on
I-26 Friday evening, and
when deputy Bill Ives saw him,
he pulled his police vehicle in
behind Dillard's pick-up truck.
Carswell said that Ives tried to
pull Thurman over, but that
Dillard cut across the median
strip and headed back down the
mountain. Columbus officer
Abril joined the chase and after
more maneuvers back and forth
across the median strip the two
officers were able to force Dil
lard off the road.
Carswell said the oick-un
