Chattanooga police have arrested a third person in connection with a recent home invasion.
Gregory Holmes, 33, was arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault earlier today after an officer spotted him at 2905 Fifth Ave., Chattanooga Police Department spokeswoman Officer Rebecca Royval said.
He is charged in connection with an April 19 assault on Jason Winfield, who remains at Erlanger hospital in critical condition with a fractured skull, multiple facial fractures, a broken nose and a broken hand, according to a police department news release.
Mr. Holmes is a repeat offender and has numerous charges – including possession of marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy for resale, theft, DUI, armed robbery and unlawful carrying/possessing a weapon – dating back to 1995, Officer Royval said.
