FAIRBURN, Ga. (AP) - Police in several states are looking for a 33-year-old Memphis man accused of running over and severely injuring an Atlanta-area police officer.
Fairburn Deputy Police Chief Anthony Bazydlo (buh-ZID-loh) says they have several leads to Tauren McShan's possible whereabouts. He says a warrant has been issued for McShan's arrest on charges including aggravated assault against an officer.
He says Fairburn police are working with local, state and federal authorities.
According to news reports, surveillance video shows a man talking to officers outside the truck, then jumping in and driving away. Bazydlo says Officer Levar Sims was holding onto the truck but fell off at a speed bump and was run over.
He says Sims is recovering well after surgery and could be released from the hospital after several days.
