A Cumberland County woman has been arrested and charged in connection to an ongoing shooting investigation.
At the request of 13th Judicial District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, TBI agents began investigating the incident, which happened early Tuesday morning near a closed business in the 2200 block of Highway 70 East in Crossville. Authorities say 31-year-old Becca Sparks fired into a vehicle, mistaking the driver for her ex-boyfriend, who holds an existing order of protection against Sparks. The driver was not struck.
Sparks reported the incident to law enforcement and later surrendered to sheriff’s deputies. She was arrested and charged her with one count of Violation of Order of Protection and one count of Attempted First Degree Murder.
As of Tuesday night, Sparks remained in the custody of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
