Tennyson answered the door of his residence and remained standing in the doorway while concealing his right hand behind it. A detective informed Tennyson he was under arrest, and he attempted to retreat into the residence, resulting in the detective extracting him from the residence with force.
A study from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College found that homebuyers are more likely to get rejected as they get older, no matter the lender or mortgage type. And the findings were worse for men than women.
When Tennyson was pulled from the doorway, a handgun fell from his right hand. Tennyson is a convicted felon and the handgun was taken into evidence.
Tennyson was arrested on multiple arrest warrants and additionally charged with the unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, a Class 3 felony, and resisting obstructing a peace officer, a Class A misdemeanor.
Tennyson was transported to the Williamson County Jail and the handgun was entered into the evidence pending lab analysis which allowed authorities to connect the firearm to those other crimes. Additional charges are pending further investigation.
Anyone with information concerning this or any other investigation is asked to contact the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office at 618-997-6541 or the Williamson County Crime Stoppers at 800-414-TIPS (8477). All callers may remain anonymous.
