On September 18, 2020, Hawkins County Deputy Kyle Shively observed a red Dodge Challenger traveling at a high rate of speed. When radar locked and confirmed that the car was going 67 MPH in a 45 MPH speed zone, the stop was initiated at Summers Trailer Park. Deputy Shively reports that the door to the vehicle flew open, he drew his department-issued Glock 21, and a male jumped out, later identified as Donovan Sharp.

Reportedly, Sharp was irate and stated that law enforcement had no right to stop him and continued screaming. Deputy Shively states that he drew his department-issued Phazzer and commanded Sharp to put his hands behind his back. Sharp complied and was detained for the investigation.

Additionally, Sharp’s driver's license was confirmed suspended via NCIC. Deputy Shively noted that Sharp made multiple comments that Kingsport did not arrest him when he was found driving the last time. Sharp was transported to the Hawkins County Jail for booking.
