Car chase ends in crash, foot chase in Hickory Hill
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two men were detained, and one is wanted in a high-speed chase after crashing into a utility pole and starting a foot chase in Hickory Hill on Tuesday.
At 2:02 a.m., officers responded to a Drugs/Narcotics Violation/Misdemeanor in the 6500 Greenwood Drive.
They responded to a call regarding three men in a grey Ford vehicle driving around the area. One suspect wore a grey hoodie, one was dressed in all black, and another wore a red hoodie.
Police say an anonymous caller said his boyfriend was leaving the house and observed three people sitting on a green box inside The Brooklyn, an apartment complex in the 3000 block of Autumnwood Avenue.

Police say the crash caused the Ford Escape to roll over, colliding with a utility pole.
According to MPD, the suspect, wearing all black, fled the scene on foot to the Highland Hills Apartments at 2831 Fosterwood Drive.
