A man was arrested after leading officers on a foot pursuit Monday afternoon. Anne Smith, spokesperson for the City of La Vergne, says two officers approached suspect Majibu Kisesa while he was sitting in his car on Centrepoint Way in La Vergne around 3:30 p.m. Monday (March 19).

The 26-year-old reportedly attempted to flee as the officers tried to remove him from the vehicle and take him into custody. One of the officers was seriously injured during the struggle. Despite also being injured, the second officer entered in a foot pursuit with Kisesa and was able to catch up to him and take him into custody.

After the arrest, the officer was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.

Kisesa, a Nashville resident, was released from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office on $23,500 bond. He is charged with two (2) counts of Aggravated Assault, Evading Arrest and Resist: Stop/Frisk/Halt/Arrest or Search.
