TV show re-enacts shooting of deputy
SOMERSET — A crew from the television show America's Most Wanted was in Pulaski County this month, working on a piece featuring fugitive Steve Anderson.
Mr. Anderson has been on the run since Oct. 14, when he shot at a Bell County deputy who had pulled him over, authorities say.
“People all over Kentucky might know about Steve Anderson,” said Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent Don York. “But folks across the border in Tennessee have probably never heard of him. It's possible that a segment on America's Most Wanted could flush out some information.”
Pulaski County Sheriff Sam Catron was interviewed by reporter John Turchin, who went up in the sheriff's helicopter and viewed firsthand the heavily fortified Anderson property.
The television crew later went to Bell County to re-enact the alleged shooting incident.
