Warren County District Attorney Chris Stanford was charged with one count of reckless endangerment after he discharged his weapon during a Smithville police chase last month. As a getaway car driven by Brookin’s alleged accomplice, Hannah Rose, 21, sped through Smithville, it suddenly came to a halt striking a Homeland Security officer and injuring his leg, said the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office. On Monday, the DeKalb County Grand Jury returned the sealed indictment which charged Stanford with the felony count. After turning himself in at the DeKalb County Jail on Monday, Stanford was released by authorities after he posted a $10,000 bond, the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office told The Tennessean.
