Burke. “It still amazes me that people choose to flee the police instead of simply stopping and facing the consequences. The conse- quence for Mr. Adcock is eight long years in prison.” Back on Nov.l, 2006, Adcock approached the scene of a motorcy cle fatality, 'f em 0 1 ' L y ’-A, ADCOCK and refused to stop, while Houston County Sheriffs deputies were handling cleanup and investiga tion.
