KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) An investigation into the deaths of two people in Cocke County led the Sheriff’s Department SWAT team to a home where a man was arrested and DNA from two dogs was taken.
Cocke County Sheriff Armando Fontes provided an update Wednesday on a pair of animal attacks that claimed the lives of two people. Fontes identified Tony Ahrens as the man found unresponsive on April 1 on Jim Town Road. Fontes said, “there was no information and no apparent evidence of dogs being involved at the time.”
“Investigators did see injuries that could have been consistent with some sort of animal in the Ahrens case, but rely on forensics and other special investigators to determine what caused the injuries,” Fontes said in a release.
