Texarkana, Ark., police officers were dispatched about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to the Motel 6 at 4300 N. State Line Ave. in reference to a disturbance.

Shortly after arrival TAPD officers announced over the radio that suspects were fleeing the scene in a Silver Suburban and had attempted to run over an officer.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle but it continued traveling west. The vehicle attempted to turn north on Olive Street but lost control and struck a vehicle waiting at the intersection. The driver, identified as Deldrick Bailey, and passenger, identified as Antonio Franklin, exited the vehicle and fled on foot. Officers with both agencies pursued the suspects on foot and quickly apprehended Bailey behind a business north of Texas Boulevard.

Officers lost sight of Franklin after he entered the Town North Apartment complex. Officers were able to review video surveillance footage and determined which apartment Franklin ran into, according to Lewis.

Officers received permission to search the apartment and located Franklin hiding inside. Franklin refused to follow officers orders initially and was administered a round of pepper spray. Franklin was taken into custody without further incident, according to Lewis.

Bailey was arrested on a charge of evading arrest or detention in a vehicle. Franklin was arrested on a charge of evading arrest or detention on foot and resisting arrest.

Both suspects had a hold placed on them for assault charges stemming from the Arkansas incident.
