A man who didn’t want to be identified said he spotted a vehicle into a tree and a man being chased by a pair of female officers.

The neighbor said he saw an officer deploy a taser but it didn’t slow the man down. He saw a dozen officers searching the neighbor and his backyard.
“We locked up the window back there, the doors I was sitting here with a bat, making sure nothing came in, it was scary,” the neighbor said.
The suspect was found hiding under a porch and had been bitten by a dog. He was transported to the hospital, where he was treated and released. He was then transported to the Montgomery County Jail.
