Montgomery County, TN – A Friday morning pursuit by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office ended with a non-injury crash on Shannon Street and a suspect in custody.

After detectives from the Clarksville Police Department determined a suspect and description in relation to stolen air conditioning unit parts, they put out a “BOLO” (be on the lookout) notice and that the suspect was driving a 1993 white GMC Truck.

Corporal Mike King said he was driving on Highway 79 when he noticed a truck matching the description and tag number with an air conditioning unit in the back of it.

King attempted to stop the driver, who fled. King and Deputy David Phillips continued the pursuit until it ended on Shannon Street where the suspect ran into a yard and hit a chain link fence.

The suspect, Josef Reed, was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit. After being interviewed by Clarksville Police Department in reference to the thefts, he will be charged and booked by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office for the pursuit.

Reed’s information, charges and bond information will be available once he is booked into Montgomery County Jail.
