The Catoosa County Sheriff's Office also had contact with the suspect, but again, he fled on foot and was not apprehended. Evidence was examined by the Cleveland Police Department and a warrant was obtained for Xavier Moore, 22, in relation to the carjacking.
Information was received that the suspect was in Chattanooga and officers with the Chattanooga Police Department, U.S. Marshals and the Cleveland Police Department tracked Moore to a home in East Lake and took him into custody without incident.
