Woman Found Bleeding In Pickup Truck
The Cocke County Sheriff’s office is investigating after a woman was found Friday sitting in a pickup truck bleeding. Deputies found the woman, 37 year old Nicole Gray, sitting in a Ford F150 pickup at the intersection of Ball Park Road and Cosby Highway. Gray had blood all over her and was bleeding from the mouth. A quick investigation found that a bullet had entered from the back window of the truck, struck Gray in her upper right shoulder, exited the front of her shoulder and then entered her jaw under the right side of her face.
Gray was able to tell the deputy that she had been staying at a residence on Holders Grove Road and when she went to leave the residence, she was shot at by 45 year old Austin Bryant. Gray was transported to the UT Medical Center in Knoxville for her injuries. Police went to the residence on Holders Grove Road and located Austin Bryant. He was taken into custody on an aggravated assault charge.
