Air Unit’s Team Up with Georgia State Patrol to Catch Wanted Suspect

On April 2nd, 2022, at approximately 8:19 PM, Atlanta Police initiated a traffic stop on Lee St at Westview Dr. SW on the driver of a black Jaguar XF. The driver of the vehicle refused to stop and fled from officers. Knowing that the Atlanta Police Department’s Air Unit (Phoenix) was overhead, officers decided to disengage from pursuit and allow Phoenix to maintain a visual of the vehicle.

The Air Unit engaged with Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson’s Airport air traffic control team to alert them of their direction, as the suspect seemed headed toward the airport. Clearance to proceed was granted.
Phoenix was able to relay the location of the suspect to APD and Georgia State Patrol, allowing GSP to catch up to the driver and perform a PIT maneuver.

The suspect subsequently bailed from the vehicle and fled on foot. After a brief foot pursuit, APD officers apprehended the suspect without incident.

During the investigation, officers located a handgun and narcotics. The driver was identified as Quentin Dowell (born in 1990). He was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and several traffic charges.

The Atlanta Police Department is thankful for the assistance of our state partners. With their assistance, APD removed this “wanted” convicted felon, with a firearm and drugs, from our streets.

We thank the A.C.E. Unit and our Air Unit whose determination, attention to detail, technical skills, and hard work pay off each week as they do their part in holding lawbreakers accountable and making the City of Atlanta safer. Job well done to all!
