A man in Maryville, TN, called 911 sometime back to report someone was chasing him down the highway. As it turned out, it was the sheriff that was chasing him. 

It all started when a deputy noticed the man driving erratically and signaled for him to stop. The man pulled over at first, then spun his pickup truck around and fled down the highway. Soon three patrol cars were in pursuit. At that point the man dialed 911 and reported he was being chased.  The dispatcher advised him to stop, but the man would not listen to reason. He ultimately struck a mailbox and rammed a police cruiser. He was treated for minor injuries and has since been charged with vehicular assault, drunken driving, felony reckless endangerment and felony evading arrest.
