One man on the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office “12 Most Wanted” list has been arrested and a Chattanooga man put on the list in his place.
The sheriff’s office was notified late Wednesday of the arrest of Broderick Autry, 35, in Houston, Texas, said sheriff’s office spokeswoman Janice Atkinson. He has outstanding warrants in Hamilton County for conspiracy to sell cocaine, possession of cocaine and possession of a weapon, she said.
No date has been set for his extradition back to Hamilton County to face the charges, she said.
Meredith Coy Bell, 31, who is wanted for child rape, will replace Mr. Autry on the “12 Most Wanted” list, Ms. Atkinson said. Mr. Bell is a 6-foot-4 black male weighing 300 pounds and his last known address is on Trailwood Drive in Chattanooga, she said.
Anyone with information regarding Mr. Bell’s whereabouts or any other person featured on the list is encouraged to call the fugitive division at 209-7140 or sheriff’s office dispatch at 622-0022.
