Man With Warrants Arrested

Newport police were called to west Hwy 25/70 about a report of a man wanted on outstanding warrants walking near the Cocke County Fairgrounds. Police spotter the suspect, 27 year old Justin Kinsler near the Calvary Baptist Church. When an officer approached, Kinsley took off running. A taser was finally deployed to stop Kinsler. He was taken into custody. He had warrants for theft…one over $2500 and one less that $1000…plus a warrant for vandalism over $2500. He is also now charged with evading arrest.
