The dispatcher then instructs the deputies of the suspect's whereabouts, telling them he's \"20 feet to your left.\" Body camera footage from one of the deputies shows authorities handcuffing the suspect on the ground as a police dog barks excitedly at the commotion, telling the suspect not to move or resist arrest.

The man was charged with two counts of fleeing and attempting to elude, resisting without violence, driving with a suspended license and violation of probation on a previous charge of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer.

The sheriff's office did not release the name of the suspect.

ABC News' Rachel Katz contributed to this report.
