On 09/18/15, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Gary Taylor (107 Lilac Lane, Rockwood, Tennessee; 21 years old) charging him with aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.
Shortly after midnight, officers responded to 734 W. Maple Street, the Sigma Chi Fraternity, on the report of a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers discovered that the occupants of a red vehicle, possibly a Dodge Neon, were involved in an altercation with members of the fraternity and fired several shots from a handgun at the feet of a person while fleeing from the scene. Within minutes, officers stopped a vehicle matching the description and made contact with the intoxicated occupants, one of which was Taylor. Upon searching Taylor’s vehicle, a handgun was discovered.
Taylor was placed under arrest and transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where he is being held in lieu of a $21,000 bond. His arraignment is set for 1:30 p.m. in Washington County’s General Sessions Court.
