  • 8 years ago
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — Stunning police dashcam footage has emerged capturing the moment cops rammed a suspected rapist off the road.

Video of the high-speed chase shows Tennessee Highway Patrol officers in pursuit of rape and theft suspect Cordarius Caldwell.

Caldwell, 20, led officers on a chase down I-24 East in Chattanooga on Feb. 24, News Channel 5 reported.

Earlier that day, police went to a home in Nashville when they received reports of a 20-year-old woman screaming that she was being held against her will, according to News Channel 5.

When officers arrived they found the woman in a hysterical state, hollering that she'd been raped.

Officers chased Caldwell on foot after he was seen fleeing the house.

Police said the suspect then stole a car from a woman at a nearby gas station, News Channel 5 reported.

A high-speed pursuit began, with speeds hitting 100 mph as officers tried to bring Caldwell to book.

After abandoning an earlier chase because of the danger to other motorists, the cops finally got their man.

Caldwell was charged with aggravated rape and false imprisonment for his alleged role in the sexual assault.

Another man, Zachery Hunter, was also arrested.

Police said Hunter, 21, was inside the home at the time of the alleged attack but did nothing to stop it, according to News Channel 5. Hunter was also charged with aggravated rape and false imprisonment and held on a $125,000 bond.
