Tyson Gilbert was parked on a Tennessee highway blocking traffic, when police arrived and attempted to pull him over, Gilbert sped away
"When I pulled up behind him and turned my lights on, he took off and refused to stop. He was all over the road the whole time. He turned off on Old Liberty Road and came to a stop. He opened his door. He was naked and covered in blood. He then shut his door and kept driving," Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper Bobby Johnson reported.
Police pursued 39-year old Gilbert in his Honda Accord through two counties and at some point, Gilbert severed his penis.
"The Alexandria Police Department spiked him on Highway 70 as he was going through Alexandria" officer Johnson said.
"He kept traveling westbound into Wilson County. The THP spiked him in Watertown but he continued westbound. We finally were able to box him in and got him stopped on Highway at I-40 and took him into custody. He was then transported to Vanderbilt Hospital." Johnson said.
Gilbert had been arrested in the past on various offenses and spent time at the Putnam County Jail in 2017.
The investigation is ongoing.
