LOUDON COUNTY, TENNESSEE - Devin Demascus McGuire was just taken into custody by LCSO Deputies minutes ago.

The 31 year old McGuire is accused of firing multiple rounds from a high-powered rifle at Lenoir City Officers and Loudon County Deputies and hitting their patrol vehicles multiple times.

McGuire, who has a lengthy criminal history, has been taken to the Loudon County Detention Facility and held pending bond on multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping.

Everyone at LCSO would like to extend our thanks to the Lenoir City Police Department, the Blount County SWAT and K9 teams, the Knox County Sheriff’s Office Patrol and Aviation Divisions, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office, the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s Aviation Unit, the United States Marshall Service, the Loudon County E-911 Center and Priority EMS, for their quick response and amazing help. We are blessed to have a network of law enforcement partnerships that extend well beyond our county lines.

David Ball Media-A night of running and putting everyone on edge. Devin McGuire now faces attempted
Murder charges. IN CUSTODY. Officials say he was hiding in a homeowner’s garage off highway 11. That homeowner thought he heard something and called 911. Units responded and found suspect and took into custody without incident.
