After an investigation, officers located Manis at a home in Polkton. He was also taken to Anson Community Hospital to be treated for cuts and bruises.
Manis was charged with felony speeding to elude arrest, felony fleeing from a scene of an accident, resisting arrest and several traffic violations.
Brown is being treated for a broken bone in his shoulder, two broken ribs and some internal injuries. He was moved from the ICU to a regular room, according to Schutz.
