Sheriff Jackie Matheny said it is his understanding Cope had walked away from a work detail in Coffee County and was wanted.Upon seeing officers, Cope, who was driving his mother’s Chevy Cavalier, took off at a high rate of speed, leading officers on a chase down Smithville Highway heading north toward Smithville.It was on a straight stretch where speeds easily topped 100 mph, the chase quickly hitting DeKalb County.
