Walling, Tn., Man Leads Red Bank Police On Wild Chase - The Chattanoogan
The driver advised he did not have his license, but that his name was Joshua Baker and he did not know his date of birth. "I called for another unit and while I was waiting the driver fled from me in the pickup truck. I proceeded to follow the driver at an approximate speed of 55 mph while he swerved from lane to lane on Highway 27 south passing other drivers in the process in a disregard for their safety. He exited on Manufacturers Road in the opposing lane of traffic, and drove at a speed on Manufacturers Road at approximately 50 mph, while passing cars in the opposing lane of traffic. I turned off my emergency lights, and observed the truck drive through a parking lot at the end of Manufacturers Road at a high rate of speed and went towards Market Street. That is the last location I saw the truck at when I turned left from Manufacturers Road onto Cherokee Boulevard. I believed it had turned left on Market Street, so that’s the BOLO I gave for it. "I was back in the Red Bank city Limits when I heard on the radio that a crash had happened with that vehicle at the intersection of Frazier Avenue and Market Street. Hope had located the driver in a back yard not far from the crash. The driver was taken into custody, and EMS was called due to his statements that he swallowed meth when I initially pulled him over.
