 web posted September 25, 2007 JOHNSTON – An Aiken man is in jail after running from police near Johnston Saturday night. Willie James Harrison Jr., 36, was arrested on Monday and is being held at the Edgefield County Detention Center on charges of resisting arrest, driving under suspension, failure to register a vehicle, operating an uninsured vehicle, and improper display of a tag that did not belong on the car he was driving. Harrison is said to have fought with officers when they tried to arrest him and then fled the area. An Edgefield County Sheriff’s Deputy spotted a blue Cadillac traveling at a slow rate of speed as it traveled southbound on Highway 121 around 10:30 Saturday night. After running the tag displayed it was discovered the tag came back to a 1996 Volkswagen and the deputy initiated a traffic stop. Mr. Harrison is then alleged to have exited the car and began walking away and had to be ordered back to the car. As addition officers arrived on the scene it was discovered that Mr. Harrison’s drivers license was suspended and was told he was being placed under arrest. It was then, police say, that he began fighting with officers trying to handcuff him and was stung with a Tazer in an effort to force him to comply with officers. Harrison then broke free and ran into a nearby wooded area and evaded being arrested for the time being. With Harrison’s identity known they were able to contact him and arranged for him to turn himself in on Monday afternoon. No bond has been set at this writing and he remains in custody awaiting a hearing. For all
