Winston and McLaughlin were wanted by several agencies prior to the chase. Their arrest comes after the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office asked the public for information on the couple on August 16.
MSPD said the chase started in Sheffield on Tuesday. The two began to run on foot after they tried to drive the stolen car through a heavily wooded area near Second Street in Muscle Shoals.
Early Wednesday morning, the department said officers set up a perimeter around the wooded area where the two were reportedly last seen.
Shortly after the perimeter was set up, MSPD officers said they found Winston and McLaughlin walking in the woods along a creek.
