Two men in custody after shooting of THP Trooper in Cookeville Friday

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Another man, Timothy L. Davis Jr., is in custody in Davidson County along with Braze Rucker after shooting and injuring a Tennessee Highway Patrol officer during a traffic stop on Friday.

Officials with Tennessee Highway Patrol say he will be booked on charges relating to the shooting of Trooper Adam Cothron along with Rucker, who was caught Sunday.

29-year-old Rucker was found and arrested by Kentucky State Police in Princeton, Kentucky, which is North of Hopkinsville and about two hours away from where the suspects' car was recovered by law enforcement in Gallatin, Tennessee. Rucker was the passenger in the car.

Both men now face felony charges.

Davis has been charged with one count of Attempted First Degree Murder. Rucker faces a charge of Criminal Responsibility of Facilitation of a Felony in relation to Friday's shooting.

Their criminal history is raising questions as to how they got their hands on a gun, or why they were out in the first place.

Davis, who was taken into custody Monday night, was in for attempted 2nd Degree murder in 2016 and received an 11-year prison sentence. Rucker was convicted of aggravated assault and especially aggravated robbery in 2017.

He received a 14-year sentence. Under sentencing guidelines they both had served their sentences before the shooting.

Trooper Cothron is still in the hospital, but he's expected to recover.

Remembering Eudora Boxley, a trailblazing TV cook from WLAC's early days

Forrest Sanders recently introduced us to a Nashville hero named Eudora Boxley. She was the first black woman to have a cooking show on TV in Nashville. Her grandson was precious describing Eudora and how she raised him and how proud he and the family were of her impact not only on WLAC but on a city during the turbulent Civil Rights Era. A woman who did extraordinary things at a time when history did not expect her to.
