Rusk County Most-Wanted List Suspect Surrenders

HENDERSON — One of Rusk County Crime Stoppers’ most-wanted fugitives surrendered Wednesday night after a resident reported knowing where she lived, officials said. Rusk County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Viki Penny said 33-year-old Amanda Gayle Jimerson of Hallsville turned herself in about 9 p.m. after authorities went to her home to arrest her on charges of tampering with physical evidence. According to KETK, Penny said deputies were tipped off to her whereabouts and had police check her home in the 500 block of Coleman Road in Hallsville. She said Jimerson didn’t answer the door when deputies arrived. Jimerson later turned herself in to Rusk County authorities and was released on $20,000 within an hour of being booked into the jail, Penny said.
