The manhunt for a suspect who attempted to kill a deputy frightened an elderly woman on St. Rt. 348. She rang her medical alarm around 10:30 pm, saying someone was threatening to break into her house.
When a deputy arrived on the scene, they learned she’d received a call telling her about the man in his underwear on the run and the helicopters searching for the guy and became frightened.
Her daughter and son-in-law live with her but are currently out of town at a hospital, and she was afraid.
Officers were able to contact another daughter who lived nearby to stay with her for the night.
