Deputy escapes injury following Hawkins County pursuit

A Hawkins County, Tennessee deputy escaped injury when a suspect intentionally rammed her cruiser in a car robbery case.

An arrest report said the victim was selling a car and had gone on a test drive with the two suspects identified as Thaddeus Johnson and Chris Green. The two men then attacked and robbed the car owner while threatening him with a gun.

A Church Hill policeman also tried to stop the suspect when he hit the vehicle. Johnson and Green are both charged with especially aggravated robbery.
