KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A sheriff says the man accused of killing a Tennessee deputy and wounding another during a traffic stop has been taken into custody. Blount County Sheriff James Lee Berrong posted on social media that 42-year-old Kenneth Wayne DeHart was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Knoxville. The post included a photo of what appeared to be law enforcement agents in tactical gear surrounding a home.
