A KPD officer responded to a shots fired called at the North Knoxville shopping center-- when he came across the bondsman-- Darrin Charette-- holding James Branam at gun-point.
Charette, who works for "Donna's Bail Bonds" out of Jefferson County, claims he was trying to detain Banam on a warrant out of that county.
Police believe that Charette fired several shots in the suspect's direction, when he tried to make a run for it.
The scene unfolded near an open day care and a number of other businesses.
Both the bondsman and his intended catch are facing a number charges, while Branam was returned to Jefferson County to face the prior charges.
