Deadly force

Officers and deputies spotted a car traveling along the Appalachian Highway that was the subject of a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) in connection to a robbery that occurred about 7 p.m. in Jacksboro. Officers initiated a traffic stop, but the driver refused to stop. Officers pursued onto I-75. The driver crashed into several vehicles stopped in a construction zone, including a cruiser driven by a trooper with the Tennessee Highway Patrol who was parked behind a disabled other. During reported efforts to take the driver into custody, a Caryville officer and a Campbell County deputy shot and killed him.
