CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A woman allegedly tackled a Clarksville police officer as he was attempting to arrest her sister, then fled police before finally being arrested.
An officer was dispatched Saturday to Governors Square Mall to investigate a report of intimidation and shoplifting.
A store manager told the officer that three black females had gotten into a confrontation with her, cursed at her, threw a dress, and threatened to hit her, according to a news release. An employee saw the suspects walking toward the front entrance of the mall and pointed them out to the officer.
The officer confronted the three women near their vehicle, and attempted to arrest one woman. Her sister allegedly tackled the officer and a struggle ensued.
The third woman, driving a Dodge Charger, remained in the car. The women eventually escaped in the vehicle after injuring the officer and attempting to grab his Taser.
After a pursuit of about seven miles, officers used spike strips near the intersection of 101st Airborne Division Parkway and Peachers Mill Road. The vehicle traveled less than 100 yards after all four tires were shredded.
Cierra Foxx, 28, her sister, Victoria Foxx, 26, and Sherika Jones, 29, were all arrested and charged with numerous crimes.
The officer’s handcuffs were later found inside the vehicle.
