State
conservation officers
arrested three men
after a two-mile car
chase through the
Roane County
woods near a rural area known as Stringtown.
Officers Ray Anderson and Clyde Armstead were investigating
an illegal hunting complaint when they spotted a suspicious
vehicle, according to a DNR release.
Following a brief chase, officers arrested Clio residents Joseph Waychoff,
21, Timothy K Waychoff, 19, and Joshua Armstead, 18. Officers found
an illegally killed 8-point buck and "drug-related evidence" in the vehicle.
All three men have been arraigned in Roane County Magistrate Court and
released on personal recognizance bonds.
The investigation is ongoing and more charges are expected to be filed,
according to the DNR.
