Four Hamilton County deputies are on paid leave for their involvement in a shooting that left a man dead, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The deputies joined a chase that began Sunday in Ringgold, Georgia, after law enforcement there responded to a domestic dispute involving a couple and their 18-month-old child, according to officials in Catoosa County.
Tyler Lebron Roberts, 31, reportedly took the child and led deputies on a pursuit for around 12 miles after crossing into Tennessee on Interstate 75.
