MACON, Ga. — The GBI is investigating after a deputy shot a man around 11:30 Thursday night in Macon.
The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said in a release it happened in the 3600 block of Mumford Road.
A deputy saw 53-year-old Anthony Foster driving a silver, four-door sedan with equipment violations and attempted a traffic stop on Log Cabin Drive.
Foster refused to stop and deputies followed him to the intersection of Mumford Road and Case Street.
Foster backed into a patrol cruiser and accelerated towards another deputy, who shot Foster.
Paramedics treated him at the scene and took him to a local hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
Foster is currently wanted in Bibb County for driving with a suspended/revoked license, driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, driving without a license and equipment violations.
The sedan had no active registration or valid insurance.
