One of the suspects wanted for shooting a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper has been arrested in Kentucky.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol announced Braze Rucker, who had been placed on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Most Wanted list, was arrested Sunday morning in Princeton, Kentucky.
Rucker and an unidentified occupant of a vehicle are accused of shooting Trooper Adam Cothron on Interstate 40 near the Willow Avenue exit (Exit 285) just before 8 p.m. Friday.

Cothron is stable after being flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Friday night, a Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesperson said Saturday morning.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said efforts to identify the second person are ongoing.
