Thomas Dane Hankins didn't want to come clean when sheriff's deputies arrived Thursday afternoon at his mother's house to serve a violation-of-probation warrant.

Now he will appear today in General Sessions Court on additional charges as a result.

Hankins, 24, of 360 Whirlwind Road, was found hiding inside a dryer full of clothing in a back room of the house, sheriff's Deputy Chuck Humphreys said in a report.

Hankins' mother, Constance R. Bishop, told deputies her son was not at home but gave them permission to search the house.

"I found the defendant hiding in a dryer in a back room of the residence in an attempt to elude law enforcement," the report said.

In addition to being served with the failure-to-appear warrant, Hankins was charged with evading arrest.

Bishop, 45, was charged with being an accessory after the fact of evading arrest.

"After getting consent to search, [Bishop] stated she had let him out the back door when I got there," the report said.

"[Bishop] knowingly and willingly provided false information to law enforcement in an attempt to conceal her son's whereabouts."

Bishop was also scheduled to appear today in General Sessions Court.
