At approximately 10:15 pm on March 14, 2022, Bradley County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a burglary in progress in NE Bradley County.
The caller, who was home alone with an infant, advised several males had entered her home and she was armed with a shotgun. She later discharged the weapon as the armed subjects traveled down the hallway to her bedroom.
When units arrived, the evidence left behind suggested an individual had been injured. Local hospitals and agencies were notified to be on the lookout for the suspects.
Around 25 minutes later, units were made aware that a juvenile male arrived at Erlanger East on Gunbarrel Rd with a gunshot wound to the arm. Deputies and detectives responded to the hospital in attempts to make contact with the juvenile and adult male who accompanied him.
The adult male was identified as Jaylen Terrell Johnson of Chattanooga, TN. Johnson was transported to the BCSO Criminal Investigations Division for further questioning. At the conclusion of an interview, Johnson was arrested for Aggravated Burglary and Aggravated Assault x2. He was transported to the Bradley County Jail and the juvenile remained at the hospital for treatment.
On March 24, 2022, Jaylen Terrell Johnson appeared in court for a preliminary hearing. After proof was presented to Judge Sheridan Randolph, Johnson’s charges were bound over to grand jury and his bond was increased from $20,000 to $100,000.
Additionally, on March 25, 2022, the 16-year-old juvenile was arrested for his criminal involvement and charged with Aggravated Burglary, Aggravated Assault x2, and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony. He is currently being held at the Bradley County Juvenile Detention Center.
We continue to encourage anyone with any additional information pertaining to this case to please contact the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 423-728-7336.

On March 24, 2022, BCSO Corrections Deputy Amber Owens was conducting her duties at the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office as a Court Officer. While doing so, Owens was assigned to placing inmates in the holding cell between the jail and court room, while inmates awaited their court hearings.
At approximately 9:59 am, inmate Jacob Crouch assaulted Deputy Owens and attempted to disarm her firearm from her holster. A struggle ensued and two inmates assisted Deputy Owens in attempts to mediate the situation. During the altercation, they fell into the court room and several other deputies intervened to detain Mr. Crouch.
