Authorities are searching for a suspect who they say killed a Dickson County Sheriff's Office deputy Wednesday morning, according to a Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman.
The Humphreys County Sheriff's Office identified the suspect as Steven Wiggins, who is described as a white male with balding brown hair.
Residents and motorists are being asked to avoid the area along Tidwell Switch near the intersection with Bear Creek Valley Road at the Dickson-Hickman county line while law enforcement search for Wiggins.
Officials said the suspect was involved in an early morning altercation with the deputy after a vehicle was reported stolen in Kingston Springs.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is en route to the scene, authorities said.
Wiggins is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call law enforcement at 615-446-8041 ext. 4 or 911.
