Knox County Sheriff’s Office announces the arrest of Jocelyn Rose Maddox, a murder suspect wanted out of Lawrence County, Tennessee.

The arrest was the result of a collaborative investigation involving the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and the Mount Vernon Police Department.

Earlier today, a Knox County Detective observed Maddox operating a black Chevrolet Impala in the area of Vernedale Drive and Hillcrest Drive. A traffic stop was conducted, and Maddox was taken into custody without incident. She was subsequently transported to the Knox County Jail, where she is currently incarcerated.

At this time, no further information is available. All inquiries regarding the case should be directed to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
