UPDATE: General Sessions Judge Trey Anderson has ordered that Jacky Wayne Bean is to be held without bond until his initial court appearance on February 6, 2018, according to a news release. TBI is still investigating the incident

ORIGINAL STORY: Authorities on Tuesday released a few details about charges handed down in last weekend’s officer-involved shooting in the Flat Branch community in Grundy County, Tenn.

Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum said in an emailed statement that 32-year-old Jacky Wayne Bean, of Soddy-Daisy, is being held without bond until a hearing later this week. Bean, who reportedly aimed a firearm at authorities, was wounded by gunfire from an unidentified Grundy County deputy and has been treated and returned to police custody.

There was no new information, however, on 20-year-old Shelby Comer, who was found dead in Bean’s car after he fled from police and crashed on B Mine Road, south of Coalmont.

An autopsy this week is expected to reveal details of Comer’s death.
