Man flees, fires weapon at deputies
Sunday night an Anderson County Sheriff’s Office deputy was en route to a wreck on Dutch Valley Road and got behind a driver, Ernest Brown, Brice- ville, who began swerving aggressively across all lanes of traffic.
The ACSO deputy attempted a traffic stop but a pursuit ensued on Dutch Valley Road before Brown crashed his car after a successful spike strip deployment.
Brown got out of his car and began firing shots at ACSO deputies, which resulted in deputies returning fire.
Brown was shot in the wrist and was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for evaluation.
No deputies were reported injured in the incident.
As standard with any officer involved shooting, the District Attorney’s Office and TBI have been notified.
