Didn't see this yet.... Tennessee couple has been arrested. The hyatts. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,165363,00.html SWAT Team Nabs Fugitive Couple Thursday, August 11, 2005 KINGSTON, Tenn. — Authorities on Wednesday captured a fugitive couple who had been on the run after pulling off a bold escape outside a Tennessee courthouse that left an officer dead. A SWAT team nabbed George and Jennifer Hyatte without incident at an America's Best Value Inn in Columbus, Ohio, said Mark Gwyn (search), director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. "We have found weapons (at the motel). We don't know if it's the murder weapon, but we're processing those," Gwyn said. Jennifer Hyatte (search), 31, is accused of shooting Guard Wayne "Cotton" Morgan (search) dead after ambushing him and his partner as they escorted her husband, 34, from a courthouse hearing in Kingston, Tenn. Gwyn said the Hyattes would be brought back to Tennessee on warrants for first degree murder. They were arrested nearly 300 miles north of Kingston. Jennifer Hyatte had some injuries, he said, but he declined to elaborate. Early Thursday authorities confirmed that George Hyatte was being held in Franklin County Jail in Ohio, but would not confirm the whereabouts of Jennifer. An extradition hearing was expected later in the day. Authorities got a tip around 9 p.m. that the couple was at the Columbus motel after a cab driver who had driven the couple there from Erlanger, Ky., called police, U.S. Marshal John Schickel said. He declined to give any additional information or identify the cab driver. After the tip, authorities surrounded the Columbus motel, said John Bolen, a supervisor for the U.S. Marshals Service in Columbus. Authorities called the couple's room, told them they were surrounded and the couple came out of their room and surrendered, Bolen said. They didn't say anything during the arrest, he said. Earlier in the day, authorities had tracked down a van the couple was believed to have used outside a motel in Erlanger, Ky., just south of Cincinnati. The couple was gone, but authorities knew then that they were getting close. Blood had been found in the motel room, and an employee at a nearby restaurant told federal agents she had given directions that day to a couple she later recognized as the fugitives.
