According to a report made by the Madison County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), on Friday, Nov 26, at 11:55 p.m., MCSO received a request for assistance from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) regarding an active vehicle pursuit of a white utility vehicle. Jefferson County deputies advised the pursuit had entered Madison County on US 19 traveling south and then turned north onto SW Overstreet Avenue.
MCSO Deputy William Terry was patrolling the Greenville area and immediately responded to SW Overstreet Avenue to get ahead of the vehicle pursuit as other MCSO deputies responded.
As the pursuit continued north near the I-10 overpass, Deputy Terry was able to deploy a tire deflation device, successfully deflating both passenger side tires on the suspect's vehicle. The fleeing vehicle continued for approximately 200 yards before stopping in the roadway as Sergeant Anthony Land arrived with his canine partner, Archer.
The driver of the vehicle, identified as Evelyn Marie Paramore, of Tallahassee, Fla., exited the disabled vehicle and fled west on foot into the woods. Sergeant Land deployed canine Archer.
Canine Archer apprehend Paramore approximately 75 yards into the woods where she was taken into custody without further incident. Paramore received treatment for a minor injury sustained during apprehension before being transported to the Madison County Jail.
Paramore has since been charged by MCSO with driving while license suspended (DWLS) as a felony habitual traffic offender, resisting arrest without violence and an active arrest warrant. Additional felony charges from JCSO are pending.
