The Mayfield Police Department says the two-vehicle collision happened around 8:15 pm in the area of North 15th and Lee streets. A passenger in one of the vehicles, 41-year-old Shawn Johnson of Mayfield, was transported to Jackson Purchase Medical Center for treatment of his injuries.
Police found the second vehicle unoccupied, but the driver, 36-year-old Darron Fox of Mayfield, was located at a nearby home. Fox told police he left the scene of the crash due to fear of physical harm.
While speaking with Fox, officers reportedly detected the odor of alcohol, and tried to place him under arrest for alcohol intoxication in a public place. Fox fled on foot, and ignored officers' commands to stop.
Officers say Fox was tased twice, but refused to comply. Officers took Fox into custody and he was transported to the Graves County Jail.
Fox was charged with alcohol intoxication in a public place, fleeing or evading police, resisting arrest and criminal mischief.
