Buxton Fled Police After Shooting | Augusta Georgia News

A wanted felon with a history of dodging the law just escalated things in Burke County—Patrick Buxton, already on probation, triggered a high-speed chase after deputies tried to pull him over in Waynesboro. Armed and dangerous, he fired at officers during the pursuit, ditched his SUV at a construction site, and fled on foot—only to be caught. A handgun was recovered, and his vehicle showed bullet damage. Buxton was hospitalized before booking, and investigators say he may face even more charges, including ties to a suspicious April death at the Deluxe Inn.
