Knoxville Police Arrest a Third Person in an Attempted Murder and Carjacking at at West Knoxville Business

Knoxville Police have arrested the third person involved in an attempted murder and carjacking at BucketHead Tavern.

36-year-old Michael Thompson’s arrest comes after two others, 25 year-old Tre’Veon Bradley and 24 year-old Jaden Moore were arrested in November and December of last year.

KPD says Thompson was wanted on a grand jury indictment that charged him with attempted second-degree murder and carjacking centering on a 61-year-old victim back in October.

Thompson’s arrest follows another investigation at BucketHead Tavern from the beginning of this month for a shooting in the parking lot.
