News Herald Arrest Report

Local man arrested for attempted burglary
 
A Lenoir City man has been arrested after law enforcement found him attempting to burglarize a local store.
 
Responding to the call of a burglary in progress at a convenience store on Highway 11, Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Watkins saw a front door with a cinder block thrown through the window and vehicle keys in the front door glass.
 
After finding the vehicle the keys belonged to up the street, Watkins deployed his K9 Kane for an area search.
 
“Kane began picking up the scent of a human and took Officer Jordan Samuels and myself into a large drainage ditch,” Watkins wrote in the report. “At this time I could tell we were close to the suspect, so I stopped and gave another announcement to come out or the K9 would bite them. There was no response so I continued on for approximately another 100 feet until Kane located the subject behind a tree and apprehended him.”
 
Michael Otis Slone, 49, began “thrashing” with Kane and was told to put his hands behind his back. Kane was called off, and Slone was taken into custody without incident, according to the report.
 
Slone was charged with evading arrest and burglary and held on $12,000 bond.
