High Speed Chase!

     West  Batesville  Magnet  School  goes  on  lock  down,  due  to  a  high  speed  police  chase  to  arrest  Derrick  Hicks.  Hicks  started  sending  text  messages  to         a  woman,  who  is  employed  at  the  Batesville  humane  society,  telling  her  that  he  will  stop  by  to  get  money  from  her.  When  he  arrives  at  the  humane   society,  the  woman  calls  911  because  he  is  violating  his  protection  order  that  the  lady  has  on  him.  When  Hicks  realized  she  had  called  the  cops,  he   fled.  The  police  finally  caught  up  to  him  around  the  area  of  Batesville  West  Magnet.  They  advised  the  school  to  go  under  lock  down  just  in  case  this  man  would  enter  the  school  and  cause  many  other  problems.  So,  for  all  of  the  children's  safety  they  did  as  the  police  had  instructed  them  to  do.  Derrick  Hicks  drove  his  Dodge  pickup  truck  into  a  field  trying  to  escape  from  the  police.  The  police  arrested  him  a  couple  minutes  later  in  the  middle  of  the  field,  only  a  few  blocks  away  from  the  elementary  school.  Because  he  fled  when  the  police  had  showed  up  to  see  was  going  on,  he  is  under  investigative  hold.  He  was  also  charged  with  violation  of  his  protection  order  right  off  the  bat.  September  19  is  his  court  date  to  appear before  a  judge  so  he  can  answer  to  his  charges  that  have  been  made  by  the  police.
