I have, for the last 2 days, been reading out (in roll call) the teletype from the Tennessee department that was investigating this. The teletype briefly recounts the crimes the "suspect" had committed, what he was driving, who his hostages were, etc., so that officers would be aware of the situation should they stop the car. Today, I mentioned the BOLO I had been reading, and then recounted the last chapter. A VERY rousing cheer went up from the 18 or so officers present. Legal or not, it made a lot of folks' day.
