On Wednesday, officials in Perry County initiated a manhunt along Highway 412 following a reported home burglary. In response to the incident, authorities advised local residents to stay indoors and secure their homes. The swift action by law enforcement led to the capture of two out of three suspects at the scene of the crime. However, one suspect, identified as 34-year-old Justin McKennon from Maury County, managed to escape on foot.
The search for McKennon intensified in the vicinity of Qualls Cemetery and Coons Creek, as law enforcement worked diligently to locate him. Their efforts proved successful when he was ultimately apprehended in Lewis County. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces in maintaining community safety and the importance of public cooperation during such events.
