PIPERTON, Tenn. — Three suspects accused of robbing a Corinth, Mississippi convenience store at gunpoint Tuesday were taken into custody after a chase that spanned four counties and ended in a Tennessee cornfield.
Alcorn County Sheriff Ben Caldwell said a deputy pulled up to the store in time to see two of the suspects making their getaway. The third was arrested at the scene.
The fleeing suspects led officers all the way to Piperton in Fayette County, where they wrecked after hitting a spike strip on Highway 72 near the Mississippi state line.
The second suspect was captured in the field. A third was able to evade police for some time. That person was eventually taken into custody late Tuesday evening.
