JSO Chief Tom Hackney says officers followed a suspected car thief in a white Ford Crown Victoria into the garage who had eluded arrest last week.
As detectives moved in to make an arrest the driver of the vehicle began ramming the police cruisers trying to box him in.
Hackney says as the driver was backing out of the garage an officer fired three shots at the vehicle. All shots hit the car.
He says the car was found shortly after at a Dunn Avenue apartment complex.
Two suspects were arrested. One was a 17 year old black male who was shot in the foot at JIA. The other was 27-year old black male who was the registered owner of the Crown Victoria.
No one else was injured during the incident.
The original car theft suspect remains at large.
Suspect 20-year old Rodney Lorenzo Addison is five-feet four and 130 pounds.
Hackney says he is 20-year old Rodney Addison. He is a black male five-foot four 130 pounds.
Hackney says the investigation is ongoing and hopes more information will be available at an 11 am press conference Thursday morning
