A witness told responding officers two men ran from the vehicle following the crash, according to an affidavit. Then men reportedly ran in different directions and were both wearing black.

According to the arrest document, an officer saw 27-year-old Deangelo Fisher climb over the aircraft operations area fence and onto an active aircraft taxiway.
Officers commanded Fisher to stop and he was eventually taken into custody after another foot pursuit, according to officials.

Fisher was booked into the Metro jail and charged with resisting arrest, unlawful entry of a secure airport area and felony weapon possession. His bond was set at $32,500 and more charges are pending due to further investigation.
