No charges will be filed against police officers involved in a fatal shooting.
The District Attorney says the Cocke County deputy and Parrotsville police officer involved in the arrest and death of Whitney Fox in Cocke County will not face charges in the May 23rd shooting in the Bybee community.
Fox had multiple outstanding warrants and had been evading arrest by deputies when the chase began. It ended when Fox drove into a field and crashed into the police vehicles. The deputies left their cars and approached Fox who refused over forty commands to cease and desist, and she drove her vehicle in a manner that caused the on foot deputies to fear for their lives.
The shooting has been ruled an act of self-defense.
