KINGSPORT – A portion to Tranbarger Drive between Lynn Garden Drive and Colfax Avenue will be closed to through traffic beginning Tuesday August 18th through Tuesday August 25th. Detours will be in place and motorists are asked to use extreme caution while traveling in this area.
The closure comes at the request of the construction crews working to build the new Walmart Neighborhood Market, located at the corner of Tranbarger Drive and Lynn Garden Drive. The work will primarily involve the installation of sidewalks, curbing and storm water controls. The City of Kingsport has permitted this closure.

| NEWS RELEASE | |||
| SUBJECT: | Armed Man Arrested by K.P.D. after Brief Stand-Off | ||
| DATE: | August 13, 2015 | ||
| CASE #: | 15-017601 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On August 13, 2015 at approximately 4:00 PM, a man later identified as Larry Castle called a non-emergency administrative line to Kingsport Central Dispatch and made threats to kill an individual who allegedly owed him a large sum of money. The call originated from Mr. Castle’s residence, located at 1141 East Center Street. Officers of the Kingsport Police Department’s Patrol Division were dispatched to the scene.
Upon arrival, the first responding officer was confronted by Mr. Castle who was armed with a rifle. He ordered the officer off of his property and retreated back inside the house. Additional officers promptly responded to secure the area in an effort to protect neighbors and other innocent bystanders. Following a stand-off lasting approximately twenty minutes, Mr. Castle exited the house onto the front porch. After failing to comply with officers’ instructions, he was subdued via a successful Taser deployment and taken into custody. He was initially transported to Holston Valley Medical Center for removal of the Taser prongs; however, he remained there under temporary observation for pre-existing medical issues unrelated to this incident. He faces a charge of Aggravated Assault with the possibility of additional charges pending. Upon his release from the hospital, he will be transported to the Kingsport City Jail where he will remain confined pending arraignment. Mr. Castle’s motive remains under investigation. |
