THP ARRESTS MAN WANTED FOR HOMICIDES IN TWO STATES
Troopers with the Tennessee Highway Patrol arrested a Texas man suspected of multiple homicides in Virginia and Texas. This morning (Wednesday, December 20, 2017), authorities were told to be on the lookout for 19-year-old Ismael Antonio Hernandez Navarro of San Antonio, Texas, who was believed to be driving south on Interstate 81 in a Chevrolet utility truck. A state trooper saw the truck matching the description and began following Navarro. While following his truck, they noticed the license plate had been covered up by a temporary tag. Other troopers fell in behind Navarro’s truck, waiting until he passed exit 23 so he couldn’t get off the interstate, then stopped him near mile marker 22. He was arrested without incident.
