Knoxville, TN (WOKI) A man has been charged with multiple felonies after an early-morning crime spree.
Officials with the Knoxville Police Department say 21-year-old Isaiah Shuman was arrested following an incident which began around 2:15 Friday morning at the Half Barrel bar on Cumberland Avenue.
Police say Shuman fled the area with a woman in his vehicle, refusing to let her out of the car despite her plea, after being kicked out of the bar for threatening to kill an employee.
KPD says Shuman subsequently crashed his car in the area of 17th Street, fled from that scene and allegedly broke into a home on Alfredda Delaney Street where he stole a phone before running out the back door.
Police say there were three people in the home at the time Shuman forced his way inside.
After a chase with University of Tennessee Police Department officers, Shuman was reportedly taken into custody.
According to KPD, Shuman now faces a “litany of charges,” including four counts of aggravated kidnapping, three counts of leaving the scene of an accident, and one count each of aggravated assault, aggravated burglary and reckless endangerment.
Both Shuman and the woman were taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
