ELIZABETHTON â Work followed an off-duty Carter County deputy home on Thursday.
The deputy said he answered a knock on his door to find Randal Lee Street, 48, who told the deputy that he was âturning himself in.â Street also told the deputy that he was being pursued. On-duty officers then caught up with Street and took him into custody.
The incident began when deputies went to Streetâs residence on Dewey Dugger Road in Johnson City in an attempt to serve an arrest warrant from the Greenville, S.C., sheriffâs department charging Street with violation of a court order. Officers said Street ran into nearby woods as they were attempting to serve the warrant. Officers said they saw Street throw a backpack to the ground, which they recovered. The officers pursued Street through the thick woods for about 200 yards before losing sight of him. They were still searching for him when they discovered he was at the home of the off-duty officer.
