HOUSTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) – A man was arrested after he reportedly shot at law enforcement officers during a standoff in Houston County.
Houston County Sheriff Kevin Sugg told News 2 deputies responded to a mobile home on Highway 13 South near the Humphreys County line at around 5 p.m. Monday to serve felony warrants to James Thomas Lathan Bass.
Bass did not come out of the home and allegedly fired shots at the deputies at around 9 p.m., prompting authorities to call the Erin Police Department and Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office for backup.
A drone was also launched to help law enforcement in their efforts to get Bass to come out.
Sugg shared drone footage with News 2 that appeared to show Bass eventually emerge from the home with his hands up as officers moved in with their weapons drawn and took him into custody.
The sheriff also said Bass was armed with a 12 gauge shotgun and a 9mm handgun.
Bass was taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault, domestic assault, possession of a handgun, evading arrest and vandalism. He is being held on a $227,500 bond.
