Knox County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a suspect in connection with an attempted robbery that led to one of the two suspects getting shot below the belt.

Deputies found the suspect, Devin Dewane Smith, 21, who was wanted on two aggravated assault warrants, at Holston Oaks Apartments and arrested him without incident.

The assault charges were related to the August 24 robbery, in which two individuals ambushed a female who was exiting her home, demanding money and drugs.

A neighbor who heard the commotion grabbed his gun and yelled at the suspects to stop. The suspect shot the neighbor in the chest, and the neighbor shot one of the suspects in the testicle, according to officers.

The suspects fled the scene and the victim was transported to UT Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Sometime later, the injured suspect was dropped off at UT by an unknown person. The victim was able to identify the suspect as the person who had assaulted the female and who had shot him.

Smith is being held on a $100,000 bond at the Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility.
