“The arrest of this fourth suspect speaks to the dedicated and detailed work of our deputies. It’s deeply troubling that a mother, whose role should be to instill values of right and wrong, chose instead to aid her son after he seriously injured one of our deputies,” said Sheriff Chronister. “As Deputy Hall continues to work hard towards a full recovery, I pray this latest arrest will close this chapter of an incredibly difficult time for him, his family, and our department.”
Brown faces charges of Accessory After the Fact.
