A man wanted on a felony escape warrant out of Sumner County was involved in a barricade situation in Montgomery County.

Officials said Dustin James Leach was found in a motel room at the Days Inn located on the 76 Connector around 9:15 a.m. Sunday.

Authorities said he was with Paige Jenkins, who was also wanted.

According to reports, the two would not leave the room, but after negotiators and crisis teams showed up to the location, the suspects came out a short time later.

Leach had been listed as armed and dangerous due to having violent tendencies. Authorities added he had a history of aggravated robbery, possession of prohibited weapons, and resisting arrest.

Both were taken to the Montgomery County Jail, and Leach was set to be transported to Sumner County.
