22-year-old Tyquan Shermond Daniel was arrested on warrants charging him with assault first degree, attempting to elude (felony), sodomy second degree and failure to appear.
The arrest stems from Auburn Police conducting a traffic stop on a vehicle near the 600 block of Byrd Street. Tyquan Shermond Daniel was contacted as the driver of the vehicle.

Daniel continued to drive in a reckless manner, causing serious injuries to the juvenile passenger.
“Additional officers responded to the location of the juvenile to render medical aid and investigate the scene and criminal acts that caused the injuries,” police said.
During the pursuit, the suspect vehicle was disabled by spike strips deployed by APD officers. Daniel was eventually detained near the 100 block of Chadwick Lane where the vehicle was no longer operable.
Daniel was transported to the Lee County Jail and held on a $65,500 bond.
