Suspects Try Running Over Police Chief
(WSB Radio) Gwinnett County police are hunting for a second suspect involved in a bizarre incident that included gunshots, search dogs and the chief of police almost being run over.
Police have one man in custody who, they say, fired shots at their officers, then tried to run down the county police chief.
Thomas Wayne Tucker was apprehended while hiding in the woods near the intersection of Hambrick and Marilyn Roads, near Buford Highway.
Police say Tucker abandoned a stolen car, then ran. K-9 units were called out and tracked down Tucker just a few feet from where they found the car.
"He apparently was laying down in the woods, which we thought was the case all along," says Gwinnett County Police Lieutenant Jeff Thornton.

Tucker and Jenna Lee Odom were wanted as suspects in a methamphetamine, stolen car and property ring.
But the arrest of Tucker wasn't the end of today's events.
While police were hunting for him, Odom pulled up to the search site, driving a stolen SUV, and asked police about the commotion. She drove off before officers realized who it was.
"She actually drove up here in the Jeep Cherokee with Texas plates and asked what was going on," Thornton says. "These people are very bold. I would consider them dangerous. Again, Mr. Tucker is in custody. Miss Odom was driving the initial vehicle and she did, indeed, try to run our chief of police over. I would consider the both of them very dangerous."
