Ala. fugitive arrested in Mississippi
CORINTH, Miss. (AP) – Corinth police have arrested an Alabama man wanted on an attempted murder warrant.
Police Officer Spence Spencer tells The Daily Corinthian (http://bit.ly/19DGhbU ) that 39-year-old Timothy Dennis Blasingame of Hillsboro, Ala., was arrested Saturday at a hotel.
Spencer says police had been tipped that Blasingame was visiting family in Corinth.
Spencer says Blasingame waived extradition and was picked up by Alabama authorities.
A warrant issued June 18, 2013, by authorities in Lawrence County, Ala., alleges Blasingame attempted to run over a sheriff’s deputy with his truck while fleeing a scene. Another warrant alleges he attempted to strike another deputy with his truck.
Spencer says upon going to the hotel room, officers found Blasingame’s wife, mother-in-law and a young child. Officers arrested Blasingame when he returned after getting food.
