Denton arrest
A man who allegedly wrecked the car owned by his wife, and abandoned her in an isolated area of Cocke County last week, now faces charges. Cocke County Deputy Timothy Snapp said he responded to a call of distress late Friday afternoon from a woman who was in the Gulf, a very isolated area on the eastern edge of the county. He found Breanne Denton, Lucia Street, walking along an unnamed road "exhausted and dehydrated" Ms. Denton,27, reported that she and her husband had been camping on Thursday and as she slept in her Ford Explorer, her husband, Jason Denton, Branch Road, Newport began driving her vehicle. The woman said she became angry at her 22 year-old husband, and the next thing she knew he had driven off the roadway and rolled her auto. The vehicle came to rest on it's top. After punching his wife on the face, Mr. Denton left on foot, leaving her behind. Ms. Denton believed her husband was going for assistance but he didn't return, so at nightfall, she slept in her wrecked vehicle. Friday morning, Ms. Denton began walking until she was able to obtain cell phone service and call for help. After rescuing the woman, Deputy Snapp arrested Jason Denton at his home on charges of domestic assault, false imprisonment, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to render aid, driving on a revoked license and no insurance.
