SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. — A Sevier County man was indicted Monday in a shooting that involved police on July 13, according to a release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
They said that Lee Rakun, 52, shot at officers after they responded to reports of a domestic disturbance. His daughter had called 911, saying that he had injured her brother.
Officials said that he injured a deputy in the shooting and they shot back at Rakun, striking him. Both he and the deputy were taken to a local hospital for treatment, according to a release from officials.
The Sevier County Grand Jury returned indictments against Rakun for one county of attempted first-degree murder, and another count of employing a firearm during a dangerous felony.
On Tuesday, he was served in the Sevier County Jail, where he was already being held on charges from the Sevier County Sheriff's Office.
Rakun is a former San Antonio police officer, according to reports. He had been fired and rehired several times from the force.
