GRAHAM COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — One man has been identified as the suspect of a multi-county chase through Western North Carolina.

The Graham County Sheriff’s Office says the county’s 911 Center received a call around 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 8, from someone stating “an army looking van with orange tag” had run into the Robbinsville Health Mart Pharmacy, then headed toward Tallulah.
