Breaking For the Bathroom Leads to Arrest
Comments 0 | Recommend 0A man's attempt for a bathroom break in disguise as a break for it turned into a mistake today.
Hamilton County Sheriff's Office spokesperson says Anthony O. Smith, 21, was appearing in front of Sessions Court Judge David Bales today at approximately 12:30 p.m. on charges of Domestic Assault and Resisting Arrest.
When Mr. Smith was called by the Judge to approach the bench, he asked for permission to leave the courtroom to use the restroom. He was advised that he could use the facilities located in a holding cell just adjacent to the courtroom. Smith then turned, running from the courtroom and out of the building.
Hamilton County Sheriff's Court Officers along with several Fugitive Division Detectives and Chattanooga Police Department located the suspect around the apartments on Grove Street. He was taken into custody and transported to the Hamilton County Jail.
The spokesperson says he will face new charges of Evading Arrest and Simple Assault resulting from this incident.
