The chase ended with a wreck and the suspect assaulting at least one Tupelo police officer.
Police spokesman Capt. Chuck McDougald said members of the Tupelo Police Department Street Crimes Unit attempted to stop a gold Infinity sedan for a traffic infraction on North Gloster around 4:15 p.m. The car fled north on Gloster, then took McCullough Boulevard to get on Highway 45 South. The chase then headed west on Main Street.
The suspect vehicle collided with two uninvolved vehicles at the intersection of West Main and Rankin Boulevard before running off the road.
âThe adult male driver of the vehicle fled on foot but was quickly apprehended by officers,â McDougald said. âThat suspect did assault an officer by striking him in the face as they were attempting to apprehend him.â

With the 85th anniversary of the tornado of 1936 and the primaries for municipal elections this week, we dug back into the past to examine the career of the late J.P. Nanney.
A native of Fulton, Nanney didnât arrive in Tupelo until 1907, after working for a bank in Amory. He took a position as a bookkeeper for the Bank of Tupelo. That position began a rise to the top as the bankâs longtime president by 1931.
Most people who remembered Nanney recalled his community service record and his 20 years at the helm of Tupelo city government, although he drew opposition every campaign.
