Coffee County Sheriff Steve Graves says the reason that the driver was being stopped by a deputy was a busted license plate light and the passenger acted suspicious by trying to hide from view of the deputy. He says another reason the pursuit continued was that Hickey attempted to hit a deputy head-on at the Hwy 41/55 intersection in Manchester.
Sheriff Graves added that Manchester and Tullahoma City police departments along with the Tennessee Highway Patrol were called to provide assistance.
