SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — A suspect appeared in a Sevier County Criminal courtroom Monday morning in connection to the shooting of two Blount County deputies earlier this year.

Carrie Matthews , the alleged girlfriend of suspect Kenneth DeHart , was indicted in April on two felony charges based on Matthews being accused of warning DeHart that police were at her home after DeHart allegedly shot two Blount County deputies.

In court on June 10, the public defender asked for the GPS monitor on Matthews to be removed, however, the motion was denied. She is set to be in court again on September 23

On Feb. 8, court documents state that investigators visited Matthews’ Sevierville home just before 10 p.m. as they searched for Kenneth DeHart. The Blount County Sheriff’s Office alleges that DeHart fatally shot Deputy Greg McCowan, and shot and injured Deputy Shelby Eggers during a traffic stop earlier that night.

In March, Matthews’ case moved to the Grand Jury . She is one of three individuals charged with aiding DeHart. DeHart’s bother, Marcus DeHart , was also arrested and charged with accessory after the fact, however, he was released on a $10,000 bond after Kenneth DeHart was captured. Another man, Maurice Warren, was charged with accessory after the fact after allegedly purchasing two phones and sim cards for Kenneth DeHart.

Kenneth DeHart has been indicted and is facing 21 charges , including first-degree murder.
