DALTON, Ga.— The female suspect who was shot by an officer or officers following a multi-state car chase that ended on I-75 in Whitfield County on Wednesday has been identified by the GBI as Clinique Jackson, 33, of Conyers. She remains in critical condition in the hospital.

The male suspect in the incident, Parrish Smaey, 56, of Jonesboro, remains in the Whitfield County jail without bond. He faces multiple charges, including DUI, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, theft by receiving a stolen vehicle, use of a license plate to conceal the identity of a vehicle, an open container violation, hit and run, fleeing/attempting to elude a police officer, driving on a divided highway/controlled access road/emergency lane, failure to maintain lane, driving too fast for conditions, reckless driving and driving while license is suspended or revoked.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said preliminary information indicated that Smaey and Jackson were shoplifting in Bradley County, Tenn., when store employees were threatened with a handgun. Hamilton County (Chattanooga-area) officials placed a lookout for the couple.

The chase ended near the Walnut Avenue exit. Georgia State Patrol troopers conducted a PIT (Pursuit Intervention Technique) maneuver on the vehicle. Smaey surrendered, but Jackson left in the vehicle and a second PIT was used by Whitfield County deputies.

“She exited the vehicle with two handguns and pointed it at officers,” a GBI press release said. “Multiple officers from Hamilton County and Tunnel Hill Police Department fired at the female, striking her. A Whitfield County Sheriff’s deputy trained as a medic provided life-saving treatment to her until she was airlifted to Erlanger hospital (in Chattanooga) …”

One Tunnel Hill Police Department officer fired at the female suspect, according to Tunnel Hill Police Chief Trey Rider.

“As soon as I was notified I placed him on leave with pay, which is our procedure, and turned the investigation over to the GBI,” Rider said.

He declined to name the officer, saying he wanted to check with the GBI before releasing that information.

The Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office declined to identity the deputy who provided treatment to Jackson, saying an investigation by the GBI, which was called in by the sheriff’s office, is still open.

Smaey was treated for minor injuries before being taken to the jail. No officers were injured.

The GBI’s results will be turned over to the district attorney’s office.
