Sevier County, TN (WOKI) Carrie Matthews, the woman accused of helping a murder suspect wanted for killing a Blount County deputy and shooting another, appeared in court on Friday, opting to waive her right to a preliminary hearing.

Matthews’ decision means her case will move forward to a Grand Jury.

Matthews is facing a charge of accessory after the fact in connection to boyfriend Kenneth DeHart who was on the run for several days; police say she warned DeHart they were looking for him by telling him “they’re here.”

Matthews is on bail and for the past month has been wearing an ankle monitor.

Her next hearing is scheduled for May 13.
