<p>Taiveon Tramayne Taylor, 25, was arrested on charges of robbery, resisting law enforcement, pointing a firearm, theft of a firearm, carrying a handgun as a convicted felon and carrying a handgun without a license.</p>
<p>An officer with the Greenwood Police Department was patrolling the area around County Line Road and Madison Avenue in Greenwood around 12:25 a.m. Friday when he saw a motorist, later identified as Taylor, speed out of the Speedway gas station at 1291 N. Madison Ave., according to a report from the Greenwood Police Department.</p>
<p>Taylor cut across three lanes of traffic and ran a red light. The officer then attempted to stop the vehicle, according to the report.</p>
<p>Taylor then sped up and merged lanes without signaling the turn and then turned into a business parking lot in the 2300 block of East County Line Road. The officer was then notified of a robbery at the gas station and that the vehicle matched the description of the vehicle the officer was chasing, the report said.</p>
