A police officer was injured after pursuing an alleged kidnapper in Southaven, Mississippi. The incident began with a kidnapping report yesterday morning in the Paddock Cove area and resulted in a multi-jurisdictional chase that crossed into Memphis.

The WREG report stated that the victim, who had been held at knife-point, was able to return home and receive treatment for her injuries. The pursuit began when Southaven officers spotted the suspect’s grey Dodge truck heading north on Tchulahoma Road. During the chase, an officer crashed at the intersection of Tchulahoma Road and Holmes Road, colliding with another vehicle, which led to minor injuries for the officer.

Action News 5 reported that the officer, who was taken to Baptist DeSoto Hospital, was treated for injuries that were not life-threatening and for pain.

Authorities have called for public assistance in the ongoing investigation. Darkhorse Press reported, "This is still an ongoing investigation," and urged anyone with information about the grey 2012 Dodge truck with Tennessee license plate TN 84188H2 to contact the Southaven Police Department at 662-393-8652 or via email at [email protected].

The police clarified that the victim and the suspect were known to each other, and the incident is believed to be isolated.
