A Cannon County man who was concerned that people were chasing him recently ended up getting arrested for public intoxication and reckless endangerment. According to Cannon County Sheriff’s Department reports, deputies were dispatched to Pleasant Ridge Road for subjects that had followed the caller home after seeing him in the woods. When one of the deputies got there, he found another deputy had taken some guns from the caller later identified as Mr. Brian Snipes and was securing them in his patrol car. Snipes had told Deputies that 3-5 people were hiding in the woods to the left of his house. Deputies then went to look for the people and after an intensive search couldn’t locate any of them. When they got back to the residence, they heard Snipes yelling and then Snipes said there were 15 people that had just ran down to the woods. and one of them was in a tree. Further investigation showed that the only thing in the tree was a yellow plastic bag and after Mr. Snipes identified it as a hunting hat, they then questioned him to see if he was on anything. Deputies noted that he had glossy eyes and erratic movements and behaviors. After a search of his home to make sure there were no people in it, deputies determined they needed to arrest Snipes as they believed he was a threat to himself and to others. He was charged with public intoxication and reckless endangerment and will answer to the charges in General Sessions Court January 5th.
