After being pulled over, Taylor began to flee, and, in doing so, he backed his vehicle at a high rate of speed toward an officer. The officer was pinned in between the car and a fence, leaving no escape route.

In an attempt to stop the driver, the officer threw a flashlight at the vehicle. The car was damaged as a result of the light hitting it, and the vehicle fled.

Marshall Greek Houses Toliet Papered

Sorority and Fraternity Houses are Targeted by TP Vandals

As reported by Justin McElroy, The Herald-Dispatch:

Someone -- or several someones -- had a busy night. Many who live in sorority or fraternity houses along 5th and 6th avenues woke to find their homes and the surrounding trees covered in toilet paper Sunday Morning.

The job was thorough, with most every house seeming to get hit, though some got quite a few more rolls than others. A member of the Marshall University Police Department said on Saturday afternoon that they were not aware of any complaints received about the vandalism.

Sorority Hosts Chili Feast

Sorority Cooks for Charity

The Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority's annual Chili Fest will be Thursday to support the Robbie Page Foundation.

Chili Fest will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Sigma house, where the public is invited to stop by for all-you-can-eat chili and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to support their philanthropy.

"We really hope there's a good turnout because it's a really good cause," Ashley Fouch, Sigma fundraising chairwoman, said.

The Robbie Page Foundation is a charity that helps sick children with play therapy, which prevents them from being limited to hospital beds. Sigmas across the nation team up to raise money to offer these fellowships

"We've been doing Chili Fest for as long as I've been here," said a sister. "We want it to be just as successful this year as it has been in the past."
