Town of Franklin Police Department issued the following announcement on Jan. 10.
Today, January 13, 2023, Macon County, NC Sheriff’s Office Deputy Matt Breedlove, attempted to stop a vehicle in town on Belden Circle near Patton Road. The suspect began to flee from the Deputy, which initiated a pursuit into the Cartoogechaye Community.
