A lengthy police pursuit that went through Eagleville, TN on Friday ended in Marshall County, TN.
Evidently, the chase started in Nolensville near Rocky Fork Road when police spotted a white Dodge Ram that was pulling a dual axle trailer. Authorities say that the truck and trailer were reported stolen earlier in the day.
After a Nolensville officer saw the pickup, police tried to prevent the driver from fleeing by pulling in front of truck. The maneuver failed to work when the driver swerved to avoid being stopped, striking another vehicle and then ramming into an unmarked patrol car.

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar edged lower against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday, pulling back from an earlier one-week high as a sell-off on Wall Street driven by higher bond yields offset surging oil prices.
The safe-haven U.S. dollar rallied against a basket of major currencies and Wall Street slumped after remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell disappointed investors worried about rising longer-term U.S. bond yields.
Canada runs a current account deficit and is a major producer of commodities, including oil, so the loonie tends to be sensitive to risk appetite.
U.S. crude oil futures settled 4.2% higher at $63.83 a barrel after OPEC and its allies agreed to keep production unchanged into April.

MARLIN, TX â Folks in the town of Marlin, Texas, have had it tougher than most, but it looks like they may be among the first to recover. How? Teamwork.
Marlin was hit early and hit hard by the arctic blast that has caused utility disruptions throughout Texas. Folks there got the double whammy of losing their water and power almost at the same time. They have struggled ever since.
But Thursday morning, a group of volunteers showed up at the water plant to get supplies unloaded to help get the water back on.
