Cliff notes: Two days ago deputy responds to call of suspicious vehicle. Perp Wiggins is wanted on multiple felony warrants, meth-head, has a long history with the law. According to dash-cam and body-cam he somehow got the deputy’s weapon and forced him to drive (with perp’s girlfriend following) a couple miles away then executes the cop. Dispatch hadn’t heard from the deputy for a while after the stop so tries but can’t make contact. They go to location of stop but no cruiser, eventually using GPS to find it and cop’s body.
Skanky girlfriend is caught the same day, hiding under some dude’s shed. Perp was found today by a State Trooper (probably lucky for him it was a Trooper and not another Sheriff’s deputy) on some country road. Billy Badass isn’t so tough anymore, surrenders peacefully. Torn up clothes, dehydrated from running/hiding for two days (boo-hoo). They take him to a local hospital, then use the deceased deputy’s cuffs to take him and book him into the Dickson Co. jail. DA will seek death penalty for both.
Cop was a 10-year sheriff’s department veteran with a wife and kid. He was also a USMC Iraq vet.
Sheriff was crying yesterday during a statement, said the video cams were “disturbing”. Rumor has it the guy was begging for his life when that POS murdered him. I hope he has a fun time in the Dickson Co. jail, but I’d wager he has a Trooper guarding him and will be moved somewhere else. Maybe he’ll fall down a few times before his final destination.
As I suspected the POS was booked into the Dickson Co. jail, the county where the crime was committed, but is being held in Davidson Co. jail (Nashville). Not sure if it has to do with the size of the facilities or what, but my bet is on it’s a way to protect that scumbag.
Tennessee primarily has lethal injection. The electric chair is an option too.
Only 6 people have been executed in Tennessee since 2000, so basically one every 3 years on average. Last one was in 2009. So this POS will likely sit for decades breathing perfectly good air.
