UPDATE (Nov. 13, 5:00 a.m.): The Knox County Sheriff's Office said a homeless man and a Knoxville police officer were taken to the hospital Sunday morning after an officer-involved shooting in North Knoxville.
KCSO is investigating the shooting. It said the KPD officer Vanessa Mayes saw a man and woman who looked "suspicious" on bicycles, carrying multiple bads and a weed eater near the intersection of Inskip and Scheel Road. KPD said the two appeared to have stolen items.
The man was identified by KCSO as Timothy Tillery, who is homeless.
While Mayes was questioning the two, KCSO said Tillery started a fight with her. During the fight, KCSO said the man got ahold of Mayes' taser, and she responded by firing a shot that hit him in the arm.
Both Mayes and Tillery were taken to UT Medical Center with non-life threatening injures and were released Sunday afternoon.
KPD said Tillery and the female had an outstanding warrant for their arrest and were detained after the shooting.
KCSO said Tillery is being held at the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility on a $12,500 bond for aggravated assault, resisting arrest and unlawful drug paraphernalia. The female with him was questioned and released.
