A Rome man remains in custody after getting into a late night chase on Sunday with Cedartown Police that ended “halfway to Rockmart” before he was stopped and attempted to flee on foot, according to Cedartown Police officials.

Trayron Marques Bexley, 29, of a Rome address, faces multiple charges after a weekend chase ended with him in custody and drugs seized from his vehicle.
