A man wanted on outstanding warrants was subdued by Taser Tuesday after he tried to grab a Bulloch County sheriff's deputy's gun. Barkarie Cornell Kennedy, 30, of Richards Street in Savannah, gave false information to a patrol deputy when he was serving a warrant at Morris Heights Apartments, said Bulloch County sheriff's Chief Deputy Jared Akins. Kennedy gave a different identity, but when the deputy and assisting Statesboro-Bulloch County Crime Suppression Team members learned he was the suspect they were seeking, Kennedy tried to flee, he said.
