Kingston, TN (WOKI) With the help of their drone “Shadow,” the Roane County Sheriff’s Office arrests an attempted murder suspect after a traffic stop late Sunday evening.
RCSO officials say deputies attempted to stop a car near Kingston after running a red light. The driver of the vehicle, later identified as William Battle, then reportedly tried to run from deputies, losing control and crashing his car.
Deputies deployed the drone after Battle and his passengers exited the car and fled, on foot, into nearby woods.
The drone located Battle, and he was taken into custody.
RCSO confirmed that Battle is wanted out of New York and Ohio for multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder and other crimes. Local charges are now pending according to officials.
