Man involved in High Speed Pursuit and Crash Remains at Large

A 32 year old Liberty man who led a deputy on a high speed pursuit Tuesday afternoon before crashing his vehicle and escaping on foot remains at large and is wanted by the Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff Patrick Ray told WJLE that Warren Glasby has an assault warrant against him and is now facing additional felony charges. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and a white tee shirt. If anyone has information as to his whereabouts please call Central Dispatch at 615-215-3000.
According to Sheriff Ray, the incident began to unfold at 12:37 p.m. when the Sheriff’s Department received a call from central dispatch in reference to a wanted person. “Dispatch stated that Warren Glasby of Clear Creek Road, Liberty had an assault warrant out of DeKalb County and that he had just picked up the victim from the complainant’s home in White County enroute to DeKalb County in a green 2004 Ford Explorer,” he said.
“A DeKalb County deputy made contact with the vehicle on Highway 53 in Liberty and observed it pass several cars and take off at a high rate of speed. The officer activated his blue lights and sirens in an attempt to stop the automobile and pursued it onto highway 70 heading west. The suspect then attempted to turn onto Old Highway 96 but due to his high rate of speed, he lost control of the vehicle and it flipped several times, ejecting the female occupant. Glasby then fled on foot toward Highway 96. Officials of the Tennessee Highway Patrol came to the scene to work the accident. The investigation is ongoing,” said Sheriff Ray.
The accident was investigated by Trooper Adam Cothron and Sergeant Eric McCormick of the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The female passenger of Glasby’s vehicle, 30 year old Juanita Young of Smithville was airlifted from near the scene and flown to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga.
