A Murfreesboro Police Officer is recovering at home after being struck by a vehicle Tuesday evening.
MPD tells the Times-Gazette that the Officer was assisting a fellow officer and a recruit on a traffic stop at Old Fort Parkway and Chaffin Place around 8:30 p.m. That is when the 1997 Honda Civic sped away, striking the officer who was standing on the passenger side of the vehicle.
The officer was taken to a local hospital where he was alert and talking to doctors and nurses. He has since been released.
The suspects have been identified and a female passenger in the vehicle was arrested after she returned to the area of the WalMart at Joe B. Jackson Parkway, driving the vehicle.
According to a police report released on the MPD Facebook page, William Kress, 22, was taken into custody by Shelbyville Police on Wednesday. Murfreesboro police investigators charged Kress with aggravated assault on a first responder, felony evading with substantial risk of injury or death, identity theft, resist stop, halt, frisk, and driving on a suspended license.
The report also stated that police determined that Carrie Champion, 22, gave information to deceive police. Champion was arrested and charged with filing a false report.
