Fleeing Fugitive Causes School Lockdown

Christopher Allen Elkins, who fled when the Bradley County Sheriff's Office went to his residence at 263 Maddux Road to serve an arrest warrant, was taken into custody without incident Thursday night. Elkins jumped out a back window of the home before he was taken into custody.

Elkins fled into a wooded area where a search was conducted but with no success. As a precautionary measure Walker Valley High School was placed on lockdown for a brief period of time before school dismissed.

Ellkins returned to his residence and was taken into custody without incident. He has been charged with Violation of Community Corrections with other charges pending.
