\nHardin County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an armed suspect in Summitt Friday (01\/17).<\/p>\n
The incident happened just after 9:30 p.m. at Tabbs Hollow Road and Summitt Road.<\/p>\n
The suspect was allegedly armed with a live grenade.<\/p>\n
Deputies successfully secured the scene and attempted to negotiate with the suspect. Observations indicated the suspect was under the influence of narcotics and exhibited mental health issues. <\/p>\n
Following unsuccessful attempts to persuade the suspect to accept mental health support, the suspect became irate. Deputies approached the suspect and utilized less lethal force to preserve human life. <\/p>\n
The device, later confirmed to be a smoke grenade, detonated after the suspect’s apprehension.<\/p>\n
The suspect received medical attention from Hardin County EMS and was transported to Baptist Health Hardin, where he was cleared and subsequently lodged in the Hardin County Jail.<\/p>\n
Daniel Bennett, 55, of Ohio faces numerous felony and misdemeanor charges in Hardin County. He is being held under a $50,000 cash bond and is scheduled to appear in court on January 21.
