Posted/updated on: March 25, 2011 at 4:17 pm


TYLER — An officer is shot while serving a warrant Wednesday night. United States Marshals were at the Arbors on Chimney Rock Drive in Tyler around midnight apparently looking for Christopher Summerville, 26, Tyler, for a parole violation. A woman, Kara Adams-Hanley, 29, Tyler, reportedly answered the door when a shot was fired from inside striking Smith County Deputy Sheriff Josh Caulkins in the chest. A second round was fired from a suspect inside the apartment which struck the opposing apartment door. Caulkins was wearing a bullet-proof vest and was transported to East Texas Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Members of the Task Force returned gunfire and were able to take into custody all occupants in the apartment including Summerville, Adams-Hanley and Jeffery Andrysiak, 30, Tyler.

Police say Summerville is hospitalized at East Texas Medical Center for an overdose of methamphetamine that he reportedly had injected into his body just prior to the arrest warrant being served. Summerville was taken into custody at the scene for the parole warrant and transported by law enforcement officers to the Tyler Police Department. While in custody it was determined that Summerville needed to be transported to East Texas Medical Center by EMS due to his medical condition. Summerville has been placed under guard by the Smith County Sheriffs Office until he is released.

Initially, Andrysiak was held on possession of a controlled substance, and Adams-Hanley was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. Both are now additionally charged with manufacture or delivery of controlled substance, a first degree felony. Bond was set at $500,000 dollars each, and the two remain in custody at the Smith County Jail. The case remains under investigation.
