WBFF Fox 45 :: Case Against Man Accused of Shooting Metro Police Officer Moves Forward
Eric Perkins did not appear in court this morning, but officers who were on the scene during last week's shooting testified about what happened. Police say Perkins led them on a low speed car chase before making a run for it. During the foot chase, he allegedly opened fire, shooting Officer Faye Denson in the leg. He was then shot in the chest by Officer Carroll Fondaw, who took the stand this morning. Officer Fondaw says the suspect tried to shoot him as well. Officer Denson is in the process of recovering from that wound. Perkins faces several charges, including Attempted Homicide, Evading Arrest, Felon in Possession of a Weapon and Driving on a Suspended License.Case Against Man Accused of Shooting Metro Police Officer Moves Forward

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.

Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.

The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.

Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
