MADISONVILLE-It started with a fight in the Walmart parking lot and ended with a man threatening to kill himself in a shot up truck.

Madisonville Sgt. Chris Wilburn said it was just before 9:30 p.m. Friday night when he responded to the Walmart parking lot fight and saw the victim lying on the ground. Wilburn said witnesses told him the person responsible was pulling out of the parking lot in a silver Dodge Durango.

Wilburn tried to stop the truck, but it kept going and he chased it onto Highway 411 and then onto Ball Play Road. Wilburn said the chase reached speeds of 100 mph and he eventually terminated the chase when the driver, later identified as Andrew Paul Craig, 34, of Madisonville, began trying to run other cars off the road.

The victim was identified as Douglas Dale Perry, who was reported to have a wound to the side of his head. Madisonville Officer Kevin Standridge said Craig's ex-girlfriend and Walmart security cameras confirmed Craig as the suspect.
