The Girlfriend of the Man Accused of Killing One Blount County Deputy and Injuring Another is Indicted by a Grand Jury

Carrie Matthews, the girlfriend of Kenneth DeHart, Jr. has been indicted by the Sevier County Grand Jury on an accessory after the fact charge.

DeHart is charged in the death of Blount County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Greg McCowan and the shooting of Deputy Shelby Eggers. DeHart was stopped by Eggers, who later called for McCowan, while driving in February when the situation escalated, prompting DeHart to fire on both deputies and led police on a five day manhunt.

Matthews is accused of helping DeHart by warning him when police came to her home. She will be in court for an arraignment on May 6th.
