Reports indicate an SPD officer was alerted to suspicious activity along Apple Valley Rd. around 10:30 p.m. on Monday. The officer located one resident who told him someone was in his home, while another person told him a man had asked to use his phone because his vehicle had broken down.

When members of the Pigeon Forge Police Dept. and the SPD arrived at the fast-food restaurant, Herron reportedly tried to escape, but was quickly captured. Authorities found the stolen guns nearby.
