The Crossville Police Department has identified the suspect at the center of an hours-long standoff at a West Adams Street residence as 33-year-old Peter J. McChesney of Rock Island, Tennessee. McChesney, who police say already had multiple warrants for violation of the sex offender registry, violation of probation and vandalism, has now been charged with Resisting Arrest, Evading Arrest and 2 counts of Unlawful Possession of a Weapon.
McCheseney had been driven to the residence by 40-year-old Adam Keith Clark, of Crossville. A search of the vehicle revealed burnt foil, ammunition, a loaded .38 Smith & Wesson and a loaded Glock. The ammo and weapons were seized.
Clark was placed under arrest for driving on a suspended license.
