MPD names suspect arrested in pursuit that injured DeSoto County Sheriff's deputy

The deputy was taken to Regional One Hospital with non-critical injuries, according to MPD.

DESOTO COUNTY, Miss — The Memphis Police Department (MPD), named a suspect Thursday after a DeSoto County deputy was injured in a pursuit that ended in Memphis. 

DeSoto County Chief Deputy Justin Smith said the incident began around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when Walls, Mississippi police conducted a traffic stop and the suspects immediately drove away.

Smith said during a pursuit of the suspects, who drove into Memphis, a DeSoto County deputy put down stop sticks south of Goodman Rd.

When the suspects tried to run over the deputy, Smith said the deputy suffered severe lacerations to his hands.

The deputy was taken to Regional One Hospital for the lacerations on his hands in non-critical condition.

On Third Street south of Holmes Road, the suspects hit a DeSoto County law enforcement car and ran into the woods, according to Smith.

Four suspects are still on the run, and they are considered armed and dangerous. Smith said the Memphis Police Department has one suspect in custody. 

Memphis Police named that suspect as Shanadrian Lee, who's been charged as a fugitive from justice without a warrant.

MPD also said the car DeSoto County Sheriff's Deputies were chasing was occupied by six minors, and they bailed from the car after the sheriff's deputies used a PIT maneuver to stop it.
