“He went behind one of the buildings where I lost sight of him. He was then spotted in the area of TVA Credit Union. I spotted the subject hiding behind an electrical box,” the officer wrote in his report.
 

“When I pulled up to him and began to get out of my vehicle he began running toward Highway 321. He again crossed the Highway going toward Walmart,” Gentry said. “When approached by officers he once again ran across Highway 321 where I encountered him in the TVA Credit Union parking lot. At this time I gave chase on foot. After deploying my taser I was able to get the suspect into custody.”
 

Cross was charged with theft under $500 and evading arrest and held without bond.
 

Infant injured in wreck
 

A LaFollette woman is facing charges for driving under the influence and vehicular assault after an infant was injured earlier this week in a wreck.

Responding to a wreck on U.S. Highway 11, LCPD Officer Brandon Gentry talked with a driver, Alisha Rebecca Green, 28, who allegedly had slurred speech and was unsteady on her feet. Green performed poorly on field sobriety tasks.
 

“Once at the emergency room the hospital personnel were unable to get a blood sample from Ms. Green due to her prolonged drug use,” Gentry said. “A one month old child was in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The child sustained an injury to her head due to Ms. Green’s reckless actions.”

Green was charged with driving under the influence and vehicular assault and held on $14,000 bond.
