A truck crashed into this building at 1098 McCallie Avenue.Three Chattanooga gang members fled from police in a stolen truck and then crashed into a building on McCallie Avenue around 11:50 p.m. Monday.
The incident started when a police officer ran radar on the truck and attempted to pull the vehicle over after clocking the truck at 62 miles per hour in a 35 mile per hour zone, according to police.
The suspects - Brandon Arnold, 22, Dominique Jarrett, 20, and Edward Duckett, 20 - crashed a few minutes later into the R.J. Rice building at 1098 McCallie Avenue.
When officers arrived at the crash, they found Duckett and Jarrett lying injured on the ground. The two told police that they'd been struck by the truck and that the people in the truck had attempted to rob them.
Police later determined that the two men were actually in the truck and had concocted the robbery story.
Officers found the third suspect hiding under a large passenger van at 1100 Chamberlain Avenue - about two blocks from the crash. He ran from police on foot but was taken into custody.
When investigators searched the stolen Toyota Tundra, police found crack cocaine, scales and four cell phones inside.
Investigators also found a semi-automatic 9 mm pistol that was loaded with a 15 round magazine, as well as a .40 Smith and Wesson with a 30 round magazine.
All three suspects were arrested. Police could not immediately confirm what the men have been charged with.
