News Herald Arrest Report

A Georgia man is facing multiple charges, including reckless endangerment and evading arrest, after a pursuit through Loudon and Knox counties.

Responding to an incident along Interstate 75 in which the defendant, Ryan Michael Grim, 33, Roswell, Ga., had struck Trooper Kyle Millsaps’ vehicle and attempted to crash the officer on the river bridge at mile marker 74 in Loudon County, Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Matthew Vespie reported that Grim evaded arrest until he was picked up in Knox County.

Vespie approached the vehicle and gave Grim verbal orders to get out of the vehicle and get on the ground. Grim did not comply and was physically taken into custody by Vespie and other officers.

According to Vespie, Grim had open containers of beer and vodka in the vehicle and was “obviously intoxicated.” An identification check showed that Grim did not have a valid driver’s license because of previous DUIs and implied consent violations.

Grim was charged with driving under the influence-fourth offense, driving on a suspended license, reckless endangerment and evading arrest and released on $14,000 bond.
