Rutherford County Chase Ends in Arrest

Rutherford County -- November 15, 2024: Rutherford Sheriff's Office: The investigation on Chase High Road has been resolved peacefully without any injuries.

The suspect involved has been taken into custody and will be transported for medical evaluation. Chase High Road will be reopened shortly afterward.

Chase Middle School and Chase High School have resumed normal operations. Again, there was no threat at any time to the schools, but this is normal procedure when there is an incident that requires heavy law enforcement activity in the area of a school.

We would like to thank Rutherford County Sheriff's Office deputies from Patrol, Civil, SRO, Investigations, and SERT Team. As well as the members of the Sandy Mush FD, Rutherford County EMS, NC Highway Patrol, Forest City PD, Rutherfordton PD, and Spindale PD for their assistance.
