I thought y'all might find one of our LPR arrests interesting. The arrest was all precipitated on an expired tag. On 02/28/10 at 11:38 hours, officer(s) C Leatherwood (11329) and W Horn (2671) initiated a traffic stop at Cleveland/Galloway and Compl: Leatherwood, Cory advised While on routine patrol on 02/28/10 Ofc C Leatherwood (11329) car 446B observed a positive hit on p#4498's LPR system for expired tags on TN plate 629XXX registered to a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. Ofc observed a silver Pontiac Grand Prix bearing TN 629XXX driving w/b Union in which the tag displayed a 2010 orange sticker. Ofc initiated a traffic stop with blue lights only on the Krystal's parking lot near Union/Cleveland and asked dispatcher for a QV and registration on the tag. While ofc was waiting for the dispatcher's response Def pulled through the Krystal's parking and turned s/b Pine, At this point, Def was not fleeing Ofc, he just had not pulled over to the curb. As ofc pulled on to Pine and got behind the vehicle, def disregarded the stop sign at Pine/Eastmoreland continuing s/b on Pine at no more than the posted speed limit. Def turned w/b on Vance then n/b on Cleveland and at this time ofc initiated the siren and advised dispatch def was refusing to stop. As Def turned n/b Cleveland, he increased his speed. As ofc made the n/b turn onto cleveland, def was observed diregarding the red light at cleveland/Union. Ofc observed that there was minimal vehicle and pedestian traffic and continued to follow the vehicle at a safe distance waiting for a response from dispatch. Def continued n/b Cleveland gaining distance between himself and ofc. Def continued n/b Cleveland and crossed Poplar. Ofc approached Cleveland/Poplar with emergency equipment on to clear the intersection and prevent any accidents. After clearing the intersection, ofc turned the emergency siren off and lost sight of the vehicle. Ofc continued n/b Cleveland at the posted speed limit. As ofc approached Cleveland/ Galloway, ofc observed that def had wrecked his vehicle into another vehicle (refer to traffic report). By the time ofc observed the accident, Def had exited the vehicle and was running on foot n/b Cleveland. At this time ofc reinitiated the emergency siren to clear traffic and alert citizens then pursued def on foot. During foot pursuit, def became intangled in a barbed wire fence on the lot of a store on the northeast corner of Cleveland/Galloway in which ofc was able to get def into custody. Def sustained several cuts to his arms and hands from the barbed wire. Ofc found a small clear baggie of a green substance appearing to be marijuana and a clear glass pipe used to smoke crack cocaine on the ground in the immediate area. During a pat down of the def, ofc found copper packing (chorboy) commonly used to smoke crack cocaine and $430 cash in various denominations in his front right pocket. Def was also found to have 3 felony warrants per Station B and was on parole for Robbery. Def was arrested for above offenses and transported to The Med non-critical by MFD Unit 20 for medical attention. 426B Horn (2671) and Donovan (12028) made the scene at the Med in which def advised Dr. John Nelson that he had recently used marijuana and cocaine. At that point, a whiskey unit was called for and W23 Ortega (6467) made the scene and def submitted to a blood draw. 480 N Russell (11411) tested and tagged the def property (marijuana, copper packing, glass pipe, and $430 cash) in which the green substance tested positive for marijuana weighing 2.41g. STIS made the scene of the accident and took a report.
