STEWART COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — The fugitive on the run in Stewart County since Wednesday morning has been caught, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities said around 5:15 a.m. Saturday, a citizen reported a suspicious person near the Dollar General and Guadalajara Restaurant in the Keel Hollow area. Deputies responded and spotted the suspect in a parking lot.
Officials said the man tried to run but was tased and taken into custody.
The search began after the suspect fled from a traffic stop where the driver was arrested. The situation led to a soft lockdown at nearby schools.
During the search, investigators said the suspect knocked on an 80-year-old woman’s door overnight asking for help. The homeowner confronted him with a shotgun and he fled.
Officials previously said the suspect was not believed to be armed and was not considered dangerous.
