Cody Seals, the man accused of shooting and injuring a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer, has been released from the hospital and taken to the Hamilton County Jail.
Seals, 22, fled from troopers when they tried to initiate a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 27 on Jan. 9. He fired shots before crashing. When he got out of the vehicle, he again exchanged gunfire with the troopers.
