A Madison, Tennessee man was arrested on multiple offenses late Saturday night following a traffic stop for a tag violation that was initiated on I-40 in Cumberland County. According to reports, 35-year-old Teofilo Taperia did not stop immediately but instead drove to an old gas station just off Exit 311 where he pulled over. As Mr. Teofilo was being arrested for driving without a valid license, he reportedly bolted and began running away from the gas station. The Deputy had to deploy a taser to stop the fleeing suspect who then complied with commands. After being given medical clearance by EMS, the suspect was transported to the Cumberland County Jail and formally charged with driving without a valid license, evading arrest and resisting arrest.
