Aggravated Assault on a First Responder
4286 Macon Road
Report

MEMPHIS, TN—On January 8, 2025, Mount Moriah Station Task Force Officers were looking for a suspect wanted for multiple thefts and burglaries. Officers located the suspect's vehicle, a tan GMC Sierra, in the 1000 block of Bonnie Lane. Officers observed the male suspect, Trae Payne, leave in the truck. The vehicle came to a stop at the gas station at 4286 Macon Road. Task Force Officers pulled on the lot and activated their lights and sirens. Payne put his truck in reverse and hit the gas, striking an occupied marked MPD unit. He then put the truck in drive and accelerated, striking a second occupied marked MPD unit. After ramming both squad cars, the suspect fled the scene, and officers pursued it. The vehicle stopped at Warford and Mt Olive, where Payne ran from the vehicle while leaving it in drive. Payne ran to a black truck that was stopped at the light, pulled on the door handle, and attempted to get inside when he was taken into custody. Officers used an MPD vehicle to stop the truck and keep it from injuring individuals nearby.

Trae Payne, 29, was charged with Assault Against a First Responder (2X), Evading Arrest in an Automobile, Evading Arrest on Foot, Reckless Endangerment, Violation of Vehicle Registration, Drivers to Exercise Due Care, and Resisting Official Detention.

This is an ongoing investigation and additional charges may be filed.
