According to arrest warrants issued to Sgt. Harmon Campbell with the Coffee County Sheriff's Department on Saturday, December 8, Katsana Maxkenzie Chanthoumphone age 26 of Murfreesboro was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated criminal trespass.

The warrant states that Sgt. Campbell responded to Arnold Air Force base at the guard shack for a person driving through the security check-point without stopping. The male driver went to the second check-point where he was detained by protective services. Director of Public Affairs for the base, Jason Austin describes what to place:

"Since AEDC no longer has a regular police force the Coffee County Sheriff's Department was called to the scene. When Chanthoumphone exited the vehicle, he began to make threats including that he was on a mission for Osama Bin Laden. The guards were unsure what the man's intent was and were in fear of how Chanthoumphone would use his vehicle."

Apparently, he was under investigation for committing the same act on a previous date.

Bond for Chanthoumphone was set at $20,000 and he will appear in Coffee County General Sessions Court on Monday December 17, 2018. He is currently housed at the Coffee County Jail.
