Chattanooga Man Faces Multiple Charges After Wild Police Chase

Chattanooga residents woke up to quite the spectacle on Sunday morning, as a local man found himself in a whirlwind of trouble following a high-speed police chase in a stolen SUV. The drama unfolded just after 9 a.m. when officers received a report of an aggravated assault in the area of the 900 block of North Moore Road.

The call to police wasn’t about a typical morning incident. It was reported that a man named Jaden Jones had stolen a GMC Yukon Denali from a resident earlier that very morning. Just when it seemed like the morning was going to be peaceful, things took a nose dive into the chaos!

Chase Begins

Fast forward to 9:21 a.m., when police spotted the stolen vehicle at a stop sign. Officers made a move to pull over Jones, but he had other plans. Ignoring their attempts to stop him, he sped away, kicking off a heart-pounding pursuit. Jones didn’t just drive off; he recklessy hit another vehicle at the intersection of Brainerd Road and North Moore Road.

What followed was a dramatic chase that saw Jones pushing the pedal to the metal, zooming through the streets of Chattanooga at speeds exceeding 100 mph. He was weaving in and out of traffic, making for an exhilarating (not in a good way) scene for anyone unfortunate enough to witness it.

Police Track Him Down

4.2 mile marker on Highway 153, only to find out that Jones was nowhere to be seen. As law enforcement searched the vicinity, they were met with an unexpected sound—barking dogs!

Curiosity piqued, officers followed the dogs’ barks and soon discovered Jones hiding out on Paw Trail. When he realized he was cornered, he attempted to run away on foot. However, thanks to some quick-thinking deputies from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, he was soon subdued with a taser, bringing an end to his short-lived flight.

Search and Arrest

A search of Jones revealed no weapons, but it didn’t stop there. Officers believe he had tossed the keys to the stolen SUV somewhere between Highway 153 and Inwood Lane, where the heart-pounding chase came to a halt.

Facing the Consequences

With a whirlwind of events behind him, Jaden Jones is now facing a multitude of charges stemming from his reckless antics. The joyride through Chattanooga made for a rough Sunday for him, and it certainly shook up the community. As the dust settles, residents can only hope that days like this remain rare in their town.

For now, it’s back to the drawing board for local authorities and for the residents of Chattanooga, who hope to see less of this kind of action on their streets. Let’s hope for safer, quieter times ahead!
