MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man accused of trying to run a Southaven, Mississippi, police officer over in a stolen car last week is now being held in jail on a $250,000 bond.
Marcus Coleman's bond was revoked on Monday; however, according to the DeSoto County jail log, a bond was set after he appeared in court on Wednesday.
Coleman, 20, is charged with Aggravated Assault on a Police Officer, Conspiracy to commit a crime – felony, Disorderly Conduct – failure to comply, Suspended Drivers License, Fleeing/Eluding an officer in a Motor Vehicle, two counts of Possession of Paraphernalia, Receiving Stolen Property – Felony, Resisting Arrest, and Violation of Probation.
On June 18, officers with the Southaven Police Department responded to reports of a stolen vehicle located at the Sonic on 1185 Main Street.
The suspect was found near the location, but when officers attempted to stop him, he allegedly rammed officers with the stolen car. Police say the suspect then tried to run over one of the officers, and shots were fired.
