Fugitive Caught
Jay Walker Friday February 3, 2012
A fugitive who managed to elude officers after leading them on a vehicle pursuit was captured after jumping into the Collins River, trying to get away.
Deputies tried to conduct a traffic stop on 32 year old Dewayne Martin last week, but he was able to give them the slip on Hennessee Bridge Road. He was spotted by officers in a car near the Shellsford Bridge, where he fled on foot into the river. He surrendered when he saw that he was surrounded by officers.
Martin faces numerous charges including resisting arrest, burglary and possession of drugs.

Special Session Discussed
AP Friday February 3, 2012
Support is building among Republicans in the General Assembly for delaying until the fall any action on state requirements set by President Obama's federal health care law.
House Speaker Beth Harwell said Thursday she believes it would be prudent to wait until after legal and political challenges to the health care law are settled before addressing how to set up a state health insurance exchange.
Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey first floated the idea of a post-election special session on health care in a speech in December.
Governor Haslam has warned that failure to establish a state exchange by the beginning of next year would lead the federal government to create one for Tennessee.
