Cop killer surrenders on live TV

Elmer Keenan said Hood agreed to negotiate with authorities after watching the heavy news media coverage.

"He was convinced that he was going to be killed if he attempted to surrender," Keenan said.

Keenan said authorities believed that Hood had been using cocaine Friday afternoon and that he was armed.

Jamie Hood was watching the media attention on the manhunt.

He knew that he could not escape, so he was cutting his best deal, and thats what was to our satisfaction for this to end peacefully, and now he will be in the custody of the courts of this county, and he will face prosecution," Keenan said.
