MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man was arrested after crashing a car into a southwest Memphis home while fleeing from police on Thursday, reports say.

According to an affidavit, around 8:21 p.m., an MPD officer watched a gray Infiniti G37 speed through a stop sign at Western Park and Ford Road. The officer tried to pull the car over, but the Infiniti continued to speed and refused to stop.

The officer did not chase the vehicle, but shortly afterward, officers heard what they described as a loud crash in the area.

The Infiniti struck a 2008 Saturn Vue in a driveway and hit the front of a home on Ford Road, reports say.

A community activist says he was at home when he heard all the commotion.

“They run from the police. They, you know, put other people’s lives in danger and quite frankly, mane people in the neighborhood is just sick of it,” Barlow said. “As he came down my way, he kind of lost control because he was going at a high rate of speed and just landed. When he got control, he went straight up to the house, and as you can see, he damaged it pretty good.” 

McShane is charged with two counts of Vandalism $10,000-$60,000, Convicted Felon in Possession of a Handgun, Evading Arrest, Violation of Financial Law, No Driver’s License, and Reckless Driving.

“I just hate to see stuff like this happen to people because they work so hard for their stuff,” Barlow said.

Memphis Police say McShane caused more than $30,000 worth of damage. 

“They have a place where you can do all the donuts that you want to do,” Barlow said. “You can do all that racing and all that you want to do. But y’all choose to do it on residential streets and stuff like that. You know, I’m saying run from the police not caring about nobody. You could have died. You could have killed somebody. You could have hit somebody’s child.”

His bond has not been set, but he is scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning.

In 2014, McShane was convicted of a felony arrest for evading and eluding with a motor vehicle and a felony drug charge in Texas.
