The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office apprehended two suspects this morning after a high-speed pursuit through Oak Ridge.

Officers say 23-year-old Devon Pride and 24-year-old Destiny F. Simonds, both of Clinton, were both arrested.

Pride faces offenses including DUI, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, robbery, evading arrest, criminal conspiracy, manufacture, sale, or delivery of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding, and simple possession of drugs.

Simonds is charged with robbery, evading arrest, criminal conspiracy, manufacture, sale, or delivery of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and simple possession of drugs.

The incident started when deputies were dispatched to the Marathon Gas station located at 1974 Oak Ridge Highway, just outside of Oak Ridge. A gas station employee called the county E-911 Communications Center and told dispatchers she saw a man at the gas pump putting on a ski mask. When deputies arrived on the scene, they saw the man in a ski mask getting into a 2013 Chrysler sedan and fled the scene.

Deputies pursued the suspects through parts of Laurel Road, Oliver Springs Highway, and Oak Ridge Highway, through Oak Ridge, and were successful in stopping the car near Southwood Lane. A firearm and items believed to be drugs were found in the vehicle.

Both suspects were transported to the Anderson County Jail. The investigation is continuing.
