Suspect resisted taser, hurt officer, rammed patrol car.
The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following statement.
Wednesday, September 16. 2020, approximately 11:45 am, RPD officers responded to Regions Bank located at 1240 E. County Line Road for a disorderly customer in the bank. Officers were advised this subject was harassing bank employees and they could not get him to leave the bank. As Ridgeland PD officers arrived they observed the suspect’s vehicle parked in the parking lot and encountered the subject inside the bank. Officers were advised upon arrival, the suspect had outstanding arrest warrants through Ridgeland PD for Sexual Battery and Domestic Violence. As an officer encountered the suspect in the bank, he was placing him under arrest and the subject began resisting him. The suspect ran to his vehicle that was parked in the parking lot.
Officers gave chase on foot, deployed their department issued tasers (which were ineffective on the subject) and attempted to pull him from the vehicle as he was backing up. An officer was caught between the open door and the vehicle and was struck by the vehicle as it backed. Minor injuries were sustained to the officer but he remained at work. The suspect backed into an unoccupied patrol vehicle and fled out of the parking lot as he drove over a curb and grassy area. Arriving back-up officers were able to give chase for a short distance on County Line Road and Ridgewood Court until the driving of the suspect became too erratic, and the pursuit was terminated.
The subject was identified through the license plate registration as Terrance McChristian (30 yoa B/M from Jackson). Ridgeland Police Department with the valuable assistance of the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force were able to locate McChristian on Thursday morning, September 17th. McChristian was arrested at Cowboy Maloney/Northern Tool parking lot off Beasley Road approximately 8:30 am this morning by the US Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force.
In addition to the outstanding arrest warrants, McChristian faces new charges from September 16th incident of Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest, Aggravated Assault on Law Enforcement, Reckless Driving and Felony Fleeing Arrest.
McChristian is being at the Madison County Detention Center pending an initial appearance where consideration will be taken on bond.

Sounds like a standard suicide by cop attempt.
Glad no one was seriously hurt.
McChristian should have been shot and killed when he decided to flee, fight and injure the officer(s).
His actions put innocent lives at risk. When he got in the car and sped off, the bullets should have been flying. I'm not complaining about the actions of the officers. They get a pat on the back, but the shiteater should have been properly ventilated once he decided to flee.
If the officers "observed the suspect's car in the parking lot", wth wouldn't they park their patrol car behind the suspect's car to keep something like this from happening?
Fortunately, he was in Mad Co and therefore will face actual consequences following his arrest. What a difference which side of the road you’re on can make. Allowing a suspect to flee is going to become more of the “new normal” until more effective and disabling but non-lethal methods are developed.
The officer had every legal right to dump his mag into the suspect when he was hit/drug by the car (deadly force). Too bad he didn’t. He won’t get a blessing in Madison County, but us taxpayers will have to pay to feed and house this worthless human for the next 20-40 years.
It's a shame that our men in blue have to be afraid to handle a situation like this due to liberal zealots that will scream racism and police brutality. I am sick of it....
Let's thank RPD for handling the situation in a professional manner. And, thank God that the trigger-happy, back-shooting posters above are not in law enforcement.
Fortunately, he was in Mad Co and therefore will face actual consequences following his arrest.
Say no more. The law-and-order Jacksonians continue to (and have already) vote with their feet.
Meanwhile, while Antard mumbles gibberish on NBC, there's another murder and Fat Melvin produces his latest spin video interview to make Jackson's bumbling Mayor appear remotely relevant as a thoughtful political leader.
Democrats produce dysfunction and death. That's all you need to know.
I also want police to start murdering as many people as possible. It’s the American way!
I also think the officers should have sprayed bullets all over county line and maybe even tossed a few grenades. If a kid dies, who cares. At least they got to shoot a black guy!!!!
Agree with 10:05. We put our police officers in a no win situation. Protect yourself and lose your job. Don’t protect yourself and the public and innocent people get hurt or killed.
Hey Guys talking about no win situations. This was a Win-Win. Police did their job and violator was arrested. No one is comlaining about the police. No one was killed. The guy was unarmed. Sheez.
Over and over we see stories where 'but the department issued taser devices had no effect'. What the hell is up with that?
And to the clown, above, who says 'the guy was unarmed Sheez', screw you.
12:08 claims this was a win-win. How the hell do you figure that. It was sheer luck the the US Marshal's office was able to find him in a parking lot. Would it have been a win-win if he had later pulled a knife or pistol and killed somebody in his erratic posturing. Violater? You must be a church counselor.
No, 12:48, screw you and the horse you rode in on. 12:08 is one of the few sane individuals in a world where a bunch of sunshine patriots are mouthing off about killing people. I can imagine the aftermath if one of you candy asses actually shot someone. Dead people usually have nasty friends.
@1:04pm - Mr. Internet Tough guy with friends... They’re be dead friends too if they did something stupid.
11:37, we've talked about being off medication before.

What's hard to understand? Tasers aren't 100% effective. They're barely over 50% effective. NPR had a story on it in '19:
https://www.npr.org/2019/06/27/729922975/despite-widespread-use-police-rate-tasers-as-less-effective-than-believed
"Sounds like a standard suicide by cop attempt." I believe I understand what you're saying and I put that right up there with one of all time favorites, "Routine traffic stop". I have always hated traffic stops. Most go ok, but then again, some have gotten dicey.
People usually flee because they do not know what the cops are getting them for, they know a long list of what they are guilty of and it ain't the traffic stop they are in now. Also most felons with guns and more drugs will flee to try to get rid of them before they get arrested. Some have even had kidnapped victims in the car at the time of the fleeing. Less than hour old murderers will also flee. This fleeing business is bad news and is not some simple harmless crime.
Great points, 5:29. If someone facing many years in prison has a chance, however slim, to reduce that to a felony fleeing charge if only they can dump the contraband where it won't be found, they'd almost be foolish not to try.
I suppose this is why reasonable police officers assume the worst when someone tries to evade arrest. They aren't thinking about the speeding ticket - they're thinking about all the other stuff the suspect may be running from.
Another POS criminal who will get more sympathy from people than the LEO's who work tirelessly to keep the city safe.
Guess we will see this idiots name on T shirts and masks now.
Since when can the police kill for a misdemeanor offense?
They already knew where he lived.

At the moment the sorry waste of humanity tried using his vehicle as a weapon.
