You Cannot Outrun Justice or Accountability From The Memphis Safe Task Force

Memphis, Tennessee – The Memphis Safe Task Force announces the arrest of Demarious Moore, 33, in Memphis, Tennessee. Moore was taken into custody early this morning and charged with Felony Evading and two counts of Kidnapping.

At approximately 0430 hours, Task Force members attempted to stop a vehicle near Jackson Avenue following multiple motor vehicle infractions. The operator, later identified as Moore, initiated a 20-minute high-speed pursuit, reaching speeds in excess of 115 miles per hour.
