The suspect in the officer-involved shooting last Monday on C. Rody Rd. was released last Friday from Erlanger Hospital and now sitting in the Warren Co. Jail.
According to District Attorney Lisa Zavogiannis 66 year old Charles Ray Bean has been charged with 2 counts of criminal attempt to commit homicide and 2 counts of aggravated assault. His bond has been set at 1.075 million dollars and will be arrained in General Sessions Court on Tuesday.
Last Monday, Bean was wanted in Overton County for a crime committed there. He had also reportedly made threats against his son-in-law who lives in Warren County. Investigators spotted Bean’s vehicle and a brief pursuit ensued. Bean reportedly turned down C. Rody Road, turned his vehicle sideways and began firing at officers. Officers returned fire, hitting the suspect. Bean was wounded and was airlifted to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, where he was released Friday. No officers were injured in the shooting.
