Bradley County Sheriff’s deputies took a man into custody today and are looking for a second after the pair fled on foot when the School Resource Officer at Valley View Elementary School approached them.

SRO Nathan Headrick was notified of two men that were walking on Springplace Road near the school who were obstructing traffic. After observing their activities for several minutes and seeing that motorists were being forced to take evasive actions to avoid an accident, Deputy Headrick approached the two men.

Both ran from Deputy Headrick and he was able to apprehend Cory L. Dosier in a field beside the school. The accomplice turned and ran back toward the campus but eluded arrest.

Other units from the sheriff’s office responded and conducted a search of a large area surrounding the school but with no success.

The school was placed under lock-down for a brief period of time while the second suspect was being sought.

Sheriff Tim Gobble said this is the reason we have School Resource Officers to keep our school campuses safe. He said the faculty, staff and students at Valley View Elementary School were never in any danger from this morning’s incident.

Dosier, who is 18 and gave an address of East Ridge when he was booked into jail, was charged with Disorderly Conduct; Resisting Stop, Frisk and Halt; Theft of Property; and False Reports, a felony.
