He was involved in helping police on a wild chase on the interstate last week, but he never imagined he was also chasing the woman suspected of murdering his friend.
“It’s still hard to believe that this stuff has happened,” Scott Barnhill said. “I never thought I would be involved in something like this.”
Barnhill says he didn’t think twice about chasing Vanessa Napier in his own car.
Napier is accused of stealing a bucket truck and leading police on a 40 mile chase on Friday.

“I just went vroom,” Barnhill said.
It wasn’t until days later that Barnhill discovered the same woman he helped police chase down is also charged with the murder of a good family friend, John Sharp.
“I just kept saying ‘no way, this cant be true’,” Barnhill said.
A family and community left mourning after the coroner’s report revealed 53 year-old Sharp was found dead at his home on Athens Walnut Hill Road Saturday, stabbed in the chest.
News Barnhill still can’t accept about his good friend.
“He was a very smart individual,” Barnhill said. “John Sharp would have never hurt anybody.”
While Barnhill says he doesn’t know if he would’ve done things differently, had he known he was chasing his friends murder suspect, he hopes to one day be able to forgive sharp’s killer.
