News Herald Arrest Report

Nashville man involved in high-speed chase

A Nashville man was arrested Monday after fleeing from law enforcement at speeds up to 100 mph.

Responding to a call of a shoplifter trying to leave a retail store off U.S. Highway 321, Loudon County Sheriff's Office Deputy Brad Rayfield spotted the vehicle heading south toward Interstate 75. Rayfield noted the vehicle got into the left turn lane as if going onto Adesa Drive.

Once behind the vehicle, Rayfield noted the driver took off at a high rate of speed and cut across three lanes of traffic forcing “several cars to dodge him.” Rayfield noted the vehicle wouldn’t stop even after he activated his blue lights and siren. The car turned right onto northbound I-75 and didn’t stop.

“This officer pursued the vehicle at speeds from 65 mph to 85 mph all the way to the I-75/40 split, where the vehicle made a last-minute decision to swerve left onto I-40 west,” Rayfield wrote in his report, noting speeds reached 100 mph at one point and Rayfield eventually stopped pursuing at the Loudon-Roane county line.

Soon thereafter, Tennessee Highway Patrol advised two people were in custody at a gas station off Gallagher Road in Roane County.
 

When asked why Jonah Wendell Phillips, 30, ran, he said he was scared. Phillips had three active warrants out of Davidson County.
 
Phillips was charged with theft of property, evading arrest, reckless endangerment and driving on a revoked/suspended license and held on $34,000 bond.

Man caught after pursuit

A Ten Mile man is facing multiple charges, including resisting arrest and evading arrest, after dispatch informed local law enforcement that Monroe County Sheriff’s Office was in pursuit of him on Highway 11 in Philadelphia heading toward Loudon.
 
Dispatch told local law enforcement that Edward Neal Keyt, 52, Ten Mile, was wanted on felony warrants for drug and firearm offenses and LCSO Cpl. Rondel Branam joined pursuit. Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider attempted to stop the driver at the intersection of Highways 11 and 72 by activating emergency equipment, but Keyt did not stop and turned on Highway 72 toward Steekee Road.
 
“Contact was lost with the vehicle and Mr. Keyt near Highway 72 and Vonore Road due to the speeds that Mr. Keyt was traveling,” Branam wrote in his report.
 
Shortly thereafter, Keyt’s vehicle was located on Clear Branch Road South. Keyt fled on foot. He was later apprehended by LCSO K9 Dante, who found Keyt in a wooded area near Highway 72.
 
Keyt was charged with two counts of evading arrest, resisting arrest and driving on a revoked/suspended license.
