Robbery In Tullahoma
Tullahoma Police are investigating the robbery of a Silver Street resident. Jimmy Corrigan of Silver Street reported to Officer Rocky Ruehling that a friend, Anthony Harmon, and an unknown man approached him and asked for a loan of $5. When Corrigan and the other two entered his residence, the unknown man pointed a gun at his head and demanded all of his money. Corrigan gave the thief his wallet. The thief also forced him on the ground. When Harmon attempted to stop the robbery, the man pointed the pistol at him and demanded that Harmon drive him from the area, which he did. Neither Corrigan nor Harmon knew the man’s name except that his first name is Marco. The officer did not report how much money was taken. Tullahoma Detective Jason Kennedy is investigating the incident.
Jail Packed As Grand Jury Meets
Coffee County Sheriff Steve Graves
With the Coffee County Grand Jury meeting Tuesday to review 87 cases, Sheriff Steve Graves is concerned about where he will put anyone who might be named in sealed indictments.
As of yesterday there were over 290 inmates in the county lockup that was designed to house 196 inmates. “I don’t know what we are going to do,” the sheriff stated Monday.
The grand jury is reviewing 53 cases that were forwarded to it from the Coffee County General Sessions Court and 34 originals.
The originals are cases that have not gone through the court system and those are the ones that the sheriff is concerned about as anyone named in a sealed indictment has to be booked into the jail.
Meanwhile, the county commission is still waiting on word about the future plans of a new facility.
