The Knoxville Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office were involved in a chase in Knoxville this morning that resulted in the capture of a wanted felon.

Officers responded to the report of a wanted man driving a gray truck in Knoxville. When they tried to stop the vehicle, he tried to escape, but became trapped on a dead end street. He fled on foot but was apprehended a short time later.
