When the trooper attempted to catch up to the car, it traveled off exit 40 in an attempt to elude police. The trooper caught up with the car and attempted to stop it on Days Inn Drive, just off exit 40, but the car fled eastbound on US 62, into oncoming traffic.
After a short distance, the car made a U-turn on US 62, and traveled back onto I-24 at Exit 40. Traveling east, the pursuit continued until troopers deployed spike strips at exit 65 and disabled the car.
Five men exited the car and fled on foot. All five subjects were apprehended a short time later. The driver, 23-year-old Quintez Williams, was arrested and charged with speeding, wanton endangerment, reckless driving, two counts of fleeing and evading, DUI, receiving stolen property and other charges.
The four passengers, 19-year-old Darius Hogue, 25-year-old Kejuan Shaw, 19-year-old Trey Walker and 18-year-old Corey Moore, were arrested and charged with receiving stolen property, two counts of fleeing and evading, possession of burglary tools and possession of drug paraphernalia.
All five were lodged in the Christian County jail.
