ROANE COUNTY, Tenn. — An investigation involving the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Rockwood Police Department has led to the arrest of a man connected to a shooting earlier this week.
Authorities say the incident happened April 1 at a home on North Trinity Avenue. The victim was seriously injured and airlifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.
At the request of 9th Judicial District Attorney General Russell Johnson, TBI agents assisted Rockwood Police in the investigation.
Through the course of that investigation, officials identified 60-year-old Michael Scarbro, the victim’s ex-husband, as the suspect.
Scarbro is now charged with attempted second-degree murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He was taken into custody and booked into the Roane County Jail.
Authorities remind the public that these charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
