JACKSON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – The Lieutenant who was shot Saturday, leading to a nearly 20-hour manhunt, has been taken to an out-of-state facility for treatment, according to the Scottsboro Police Department.
A spokesperson with the department confirmed to News 19 that Lt. Derek Porch was transferred to a facility for treatment after he was wounded in a manhunt on Saturday, July 26.
Early Saturday morning, SPD said they responded to a domestic incident on Ruth Street.
Daniel McCarn led officers on a multi-agency manhunt Saturday in Scottsboro, after police say he led officers on a chase that ended with him crashing, leaving his vehicle and shooting SPD Lt. Derek Porch.
Lt. Porch was initially taken to Huntsville Hospital for treatment, and his injuries were not considered to be life-threatening.
Around 9:56 p.m., SPD said they got a call from a business owner on Old Larkinsville Road, who reported seeing a male subject on their security camera matching the description of McCarn. When officers approached him, they took him into custody without incident.
McCarn is charged with attempted murder. He is being held at the Jackson County Jail on a $10 million bond. He has an appearance docket set for August 20 and is set for a Grand Jury on September 8.
