McMahon, 25, had been living in an apartment in Athens, Alabama under the name of Rontavious Love, Athens police said.

The Athens News Courier reported McMahon hit a police officer and ran away. Officers were investigating a "suspicious person" at the city's utilities system office.

Athens police told the newspaper McMahon had a driver's license in the "Love" name.

McMahon was charged with third-degree assault, resisting arrest, attempting to elude a police officer and interfering with governmental operations in Alabama. He faces a four-year prison term in Tennessee on marijuana charges with an additional charge of escape.
