Atlanta man in custody after pursuit
 
An Atlanta man is facing multiple charges after local law enforcement received a call Jan. 29 of a blue Hyundai Sonata with Georgia registration heading north on Interstate 75 whose driver was accused of kidnapping.
 
Dispatch informed Loudon Police Officer Jonathan Yates the vehicle was stolen. As Yates and Officer Sam Harrison entered the I-75 ramp from Highway 72, the vehicle passed them. The two confirmed the tag and attempted to stop the Hyundai with Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Anthony Akin behind them.
 
“We had both blue lights and siren activated,” Yates wrote in a report. “The vehicle fled. We gave out our position and Lenoir City Police Department Lt. Jeremy Dishner deployed spikes. The vehicle hit the spike strips on the driver side tire.”
 
The vehicle led law enforcement into Knox County at “extreme speeds” and made erratic lane changes, according to a report. The vehicle exited onto Lovell Road and made a left onto Terrapin Station Lane at a business.
 
“The vehicle crashed through a wired gate, which my patrol car also went through, causing damage to both the fleeing car, my patrol car and the business,” Yates wrote in a report.
 
The Hyundai came to a stop and the driver, Nitavis Sandon Bernard Jackson, was taken into custody for questioning without incident. No injuries were reported.
 
Jackson drove faster than 100 mph at times. Kidnapping and stolen vehicle charges are being handled by Warner Robins (Ga.) Police Department.
 
Jackson was charged with evading arrest, driving without a valid license, reckless driving and reckless endangerment and held without bond.
