Attempted murder suspect apprehended in Henry County
FROM THE HENRY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE:
On 8/30/24, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Cypress Rd and Otts Rd. The Sheriff’s Office had received a tip that Richard Sager, w/m, was seen in the area. The Henry County Sheriff’s Office had active arrest warrants for Criminal Attempt to Commit 2nd Degree Murder which stemmed from an incident on a prior date.
Upon arrival at the location, officers did locate Sager’s vehicle and officers had reason to believe that Sager had fled on foot just prior to officer’s arrival.
Through a coordinated effort between the Henry County SO, Tennessee Highway Patrol, THP Aviation Unit, Calloway County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, TN State Park Rangers, and EMA, agencies set up a containment perimeter. After approximately four hours, Sager was taken into custody.
The Henry County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all agencies involved. Through the quick response of all agencies and the use of THP Aviation Unit and drone usage by EMA, law enforcement was able to apprehend Sager without incident.
