A truck crashed into this building at 1098 McCallie Avenue.Three Chattanooga gang members fled from police in a stolen truck and then crashed into a building on McCallie Avenue around 11:50 p.m. Monday.
The incident started when a police officer ran radar on the truck and attempted to pull the vehicle over after clocking the truck at 62 mph in a 35-mph zone, according to police.
The suspects — Brandon Arnold, 22, Dominique Jarrett, 20, and Edward Duckett, 20 — crashed a few minutes later into the R.J. Rice building at 1098 McCallie Ave.
When officers arrived at the crash, they found Duckett and Jarrett lying injured on the ground. The two told police that they’d been struck by the truck and that the people in the truck had attempted to rob them.
Police later determined that the two men were actually in the truck and had concocted the robbery story.
