A 23 year old man was arrested Saturday after showing up a residence around 8:30am with a rifle and pointing at officers. Arrested was 23 year old Samuel Tanner.
According to Chief Bryan Denton of the McMinnville Police Dept. Tanner showed up at a residence on Old Beersheba Rd. with a rifle. Residents were uncomfortable and called police. Upon arriving the suspect pointed the rifle at the officers and fled and stole a 4-wheeler. It was later recovered on Sunset Point Rd. near Shellsford Rd. Police gave chase but he was able to elude authorities. Police cleared the area on Sunset Point Rd. Denton said someone spotted Tanner and police were able to chase him down and arrest him.
Denton said Tanner will be charged with aggravated assault and theft of property among other charges. He’ll appear in General Sessions Court Tuesday.
