In a coordinated effort, the US Marshals Service Smoky Mountains Fugitive Task Force apprehended Jamie Lynn Pfitzner, 44, in Knoxville, Tennessee, on November 29. The fugitive had been on the run for nearly three weeks after escaping from custody at the Davidson County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) on November 5. Pfitzner was being held on a $21,000 bond, facing charges including violation of parole, felony theft, and identity theft. After a public announcement of her escape, authorities in Davidson County sought help from the Middle Tennessee Fugitive Task Force, which led to the discovery of her whereabouts in Knoxville. The Smoky Mountains Task Force arrested Pfitzner at a home on Linden Avenue, and she has since been processed into the Knox County Sheriff's Office jail. She is set to be extradited to Davidson County for further legal proceedings. This case highlights the importance of intelligence sharing and coordinated efforts between law enforcement agencies to track down and apprehend escapees. Authorities remain vigilant in securing inmates during transit to prevent similar incidents.
