On Saturday, August 22, members of the Sandy Springs Police Department, both sworn and non-sworn, came together to participate in a 5K in memory of Officer Jeremy Labonte of the Roswell Police Department.

This was more than just a race. It was a meaningful opportunity to honor Officer Labonte’s service and sacrifice, support his colleagues and loved ones, and come together as a law enforcement family.

We are proud of the members of our department who showed up to run, walk, and support this important cause. While we may serve different communities, we stand together in moments like these to remember one of our own.

Officer Labonte’s service will not be forgotten. 💙

🚨Traffic Stop Ends in Arrest After Pursuit🚨

On August 22, 2026, our officer conducted a traffic stop involving a white Mazda on Roswell Road near Sandy Springs Circle. The driver, identified as Peter Wetche, initially stopped near Johnson Ferry Road and Sandy Springs Circle.

As our officer approached the vehicle, Wetche fled the traffic stop, resulting in a pursuit. During the pursuit, our officer safely ended the pursuit by performing a successful PIT maneuver. Wetche was taken into custody without further incident.

Wetche was charged with Fleeing and Eluding and Failure to Obey a Traffic Control Device.

The Sandy Springs Police Department will not tolerate individuals who flee from law enforcement or disregard the law. Our officers will continue to take appropriate action to protect the safety of our community.
