A Knoxville man was arrested Saturday night after he allegedly broke into a house on Channel Way in Clinton and later injured his head by running into a tree.

The arrest report from the Clinton Police Department indicated that the residents of the home called 911 after Darron Christopher Hickman, 46, kicked in the front door, entered the house and “passed out.” At some point, Hickman got up and left the scene before officers arrived, and once they did, they located him a short time later in the nearby woods, where he was found sitting under a tree bleeding from the head.

Hickman told police he had suffered the head injury while running through the woods when he ran into a tree. He was treated at the scene and then taken to Methodist Medical Center, where he was treated for his injury and released into police custody.

At last check Tuesday morning, he remained in the Anderson County Jail on a charge of aggravated burglary.
