Oak Ridge Man Charged after Brake-Checking Police Officer on Pellissippi Parkway, Report Says

Knoxville, TN (WOKI) An Oak Ridge man is arrested this week after repeatedly brake-checking a marked police car on Pellisippi Parkway.

According to charging documents, Kevin Webb was arrested just after 11:30 Monday night for reckless driving.

Webb allegedly repeatedly engaged the parking brake while driving at a high speed, nearly causing a crash between Webb and the arresting officer, L. Sanchez.

“As both vehicles continued traveling north, the suspect continued engaging and disengaging the parking brake several times nearly causing a collision with my marked patrol car several times,” said Officer L. Sanchez.

The police report states Webb claimed he engaged and disengaged his parking brake to “get the car to back off due to the headlights of the vehicle.”

Officer Sanchez said “The maneuvers made by the suspect exhibited a willful disregard for the safety of others and property.”

Webb was taken to the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility.
