Original story:
CARROLL COUNTY, Tenn. — Three subjects are in custody and two more are still on the run after a Tuesday morning break-in at a Bruceton liquor store.
Deputies with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department responded around 6:15 a.m. to a call about the liquor store being broken into, according to a release from Huntingdon Director of Public Safety Walter Smothers.
Deputies chased the suspects into Huntingdon where they reportedly rammed the deputy and spun out on East Main Street.
Five subjects then ran from the vehicle. Huntingdon police and Carroll County deputies chased them down, catching three of them.
Two others are still on the loose. They are described as black males, one wearing black shorts and a white polo shirt and the other wearing blue jeans and a loud-colored shirt, the release states.
The subjects are believed to be from Memphis, and the vehicle they were in had a temporary tag from a dealership in Memphis.
A safe and lottery tickets from the store were found in the vehicle.
