The search for a wanted fugitive in Wilson County led to the arrest of the suspect as well as a second suspect, stolen vehicles and other stolen property.
Officials with the U.S. Marshals asked for help finding 42-+year-old Ronald Franklin Henderson, a fugitive of Georgia.
He was believed to be staying at Shady Acres Campground in Wilson County. When the officers got to the campground, they found him staying with a woman in a stolen camper and truck. They took both suspects into custody.
Henderson told Wilson County deputies he also had other stolen property located at the Walmart parking lot in Lebanon.
When they asked if he could do a drive-through of the parking lot to help locate the stolen items, Henderson told officers he had also swallowed an undetermined amount of drugs, which he claimed was heroin and methamphetamine.
They immediately took the suspect to the hospital.
Deputies searched the Walmart parking lot for the stolen vehicles and requested Lebanon Police join them at the scene.
Meanwhile, authorities at the campground took 43-year-old Rose Mary Franklin, the woman who was staying with Henderson into custody, where she was booked into the jail and was charged with possession of stolen property.
Animal control seized a dog and pot-bellied pig that were also at the trailer.
Henderson was also taken to the Wilson County jail, where he was charged with tampering with/or fabricating evidence and two counts of theft of property and placed on hold as a fugitive of justice for Georgia.
Lebanon Police had additional theft charges.
Henderson was wanted in Georgia for theft of a 2015 Ford Focus from Murray County along with drug and theft charges.
He was also wanted in Chattanooga, TN for theft over $10,000 in addition to a car and camper stolen from Hamilton County, TN. He was scheduled for arraignment in General Sessions Court for 9 a.m. March 10.
