The man who allegedly shot and killed one person and wounded five others on Easter in Tennessee should have never been released, according to the Rutherford County district attorney.
WSMV 4 noted that 33-year-old Allen Beachem was shot and killed at a restaurant on Easter morning after 46-year-old Anton Rucker allegedly became frustrated over personal space issues and opened fire.
The Tennessee Star reported that Rucker was arrested Tuesday in Kentucky. He is a convicted felon who was out on a $50,000 bond.
Rutherford County, Tennessee, District Attorney Jennings H. Jones indicated Rucker should have never been released on bond.
Since his arrest, Rucker has been “charged with aggravated assault, illegal possession of a weapon, and three felony drug charges.”
