ROGERSVILLE — A Gray woman allegedly attempted to strike a police officer with her car Thursday evening while fleeing the Rogersville Walmart parking lot with a suspected shoplifter. Shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday evening, Rogersville Police Department Officer Andy Banks responded to a report from Walmart security that a shoplifting suspect had exited the store and entered a silver Acura that was leaving the parking lot via the rear exit. Banks reportedly stopped a silver Acura driven by Kristen Ann Taylor as it was leaving Walmart via the rear exit onto West Main Street. When Banks exited his patrol car and approached the driver's side window, Taylor, 36, 116 Buttermilk Road, Gray, allegedly accelerated and swerved in Banks' direction, forcing him to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. Banks said the vehicle missed him by inches. After dodging the fleeing Acura, Banks reportedly pursued the vehicle west on West Main Street and then onto Klepper Lane, where three individuals, including the suspected shoplifter, exited the car and took off running. The suspected shoplifter was later identified as Christopher James Eddington, 29, 200 Arrowhead Drive, Apt.
