Red Bank police officer Dan Knight watches as investigators work the scene of a shooting that occurred Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014, at around 1:45 P.M. at the Hardee's on Morrison Springs Road in Red Bank, Tenn.
Terrance Alexander "Turk" Palmer, 23, is wanted on aggravated robbery charges related to a Red Bank hold-up.More than five months after police say he shot a man in the leg at Hardee's in Red Bank, Terrance Palmer is back in Hamilton County and behind bars.
The 23-year-old was booked Tuesday at the Hamilton County Jail on charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated kidnapping and reckless endangerment.
He remains behind bars on $500,000 bond. His first court date is set for July 28.
Palmer fled to Maryland and was arrested there just days after the Red Bank shooting for allegedly possessing a stolen vehicle and a firearm. He was extradited to Sequatchie County recently on other charges and finally transferred to Hamilton County this week, Red Bank Police Department Chief Tim Christol said.
On Jan. 29, with snow lingering on the ground, police responded to a lunchtime shooting in the Hardee's parking lot at the corner of Morrison Springs and McCahill roads.
The victim, a white male, suffered an apparent gunshot wound to the left leg. He said a black male shot him after they had an argument.
A woman on the scene told police that Palmer forced her to drive him to the Hardee's.
The aggravated robbery charges against Palmer stem from an October robbery, also in Red Bank.
Palmer pleaded guilty in Hamilton County to possession of marijuana for resale and aggravated burglary in 2010. He received a three-year prison sentence for the aggravated burglary charge but it was suspended.
In 2012 he pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and received a 90-day sentence, court records show.
