The Rutherford County District Attorney says the man who allegedly shot and killed one person and injured five others on Easter in Tennessee should never have been released.
WSMV4 I got it. Allen Beachem, 33, was shot and killed at a restaurant on Easter morning. Anton Rucker, 46, is said to have fired the gun after becoming frustrated over personal space issues.
Beechem’s wife and cousin were among the five injured, but they did not die.
tennessee star report Rucker was arrested in Kentucky on Tuesday, police said. He is a convicted felon and posted $50,000 bail.
Jennings H. Jones, District Attorney for Rutherford County, Tennessee, suggested that Mr. Rucker should never have been released on bond.
“I would have thought so if the bond had been denied or the bond had been set very high,” Jones said.
Since his arrest, Rucker has been “charged with aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, and three felony drug counts.”
