Tennessee 8th District U.S. Congressman David Kustoff released a statement following the capture of Austin Robert Drummond on Tuesday morning.
“It is a relief to share that Austin Robert Drummond, the suspect in the tragic quadruple homicide in Lake County, has been apprehended.
I want to thank the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for their efforts in bringing this manhunt to an end. I am also grateful to the many state and local law enforcement agencies who devoted their time and resources to this search — including the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Madison County Sheriff’s Office, Lake County Sheriff’s Office, and Dyer County Sheriff’s Office, and the Jackson Police Department.
West Tennessee is fortunate to have federal, state, and local law enforcement agency coordination. An all-of-the-above approach to fighting crime is instrumental in making our communities a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.
I will keep the victims and their families in our thoughts.”
