He was charged with one count of felony murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of especially aggravated robbery, records show.
He has not yet seen a magistrate, so no bond has been set.
The path that led to the death of a Chattanooga police officer started in Colorado and traveled through Nashville and Asheville, N.C., before finally ending here, authorities say.
Mathews’ parents and sister have been charged with multiple federal felonies related to his fleeing custody in Colorado, traveling to Tennessee and acquiring firearms.
