Monroe County, TN (WOKI) A deputy with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is recovering after being shot Sunday afternoon while attempting to serve a search warrant.
MCSO officials say crews responded to a home on Reed Springs Road for a downed tree in the roadway.
The man living in the home, Richard Brown, had an active felony warrant for his arrest out of Loudon County.
A deputy tried to speak to Brown, but he went back into the residence and started making threats.
More crews were called in to execute the warrant; that’s when a deputy was shot in the arm. The deputy was taken to UT Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Brown later surrendered and was taken to the Monroe County jail.
