Bodycam Shows Moment Deputy Suffers Panic Attack While Armed

According to a Sevier County Sheriff's Office incident report, a deputy responded to an "unknown situation" on Dec. 31, 2016, in Sevierville that ended in his transportation to the hospital after firing seven rounds at a male suspect and experiencing what detectives reported as a "possible cardiac event." Upon arriving at the scene on Sharp Road, the deputy said he made contact with an EMT who advised he needed assistance with a "morbidly obese female" who fell in the floor inside of a small camper on the property. The woman had apparently told the EMT she had experienced abuse from the landlord, Robin Sutton, and that she would most likely need law enforcement investigation into the matter. The woman told the deputy she did not know what day or time it was, or how long she had been on the floor. She said she had been previously evicted from a different residence and had agreed with the landlord to rent a small camper space on the property from Sutton.
