CCSD Press Release
On September 12, 2019, at approximately 5:49 p.m. Cumberland County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to 923 Russell Ridge Road for a Domestic Violence call. Upon arrival, deputies discovered that the suspect had barricaded himself in the residence and was armed with multiple weapons. A perimeter was set up by multiple units and the joint S.W.A.T. Team of the Crossville Police Department / Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office was activated and staged at the Linary Church of Christ.
Interviews with family members uncovered that the individual inside the residence was James Reagan, age 76, who suffers from Alzheimer's and at times becomes violent. It was also discovered that there were multiple weapons inside the residence that were loaded and positioned throughout the home. Negotiators quickly established a dialogue with Mr. Reagan and after approximately 2 hours of negotiations were able to convince him into surrendering without incident. Mr. Reagan was taken into custody and transported to the Cumberland Medical Center for a mental evaluation.
