A joint investigation by the TBI and the Scott County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in the indictment of a Scott County man on murder and theft charges.

Back in July 2019, at the request of 8th District Attorney General Jared Effler, TBI agents joined the Scott County Sheriff’s Office in investigating a homicide that occurred in the 700 block of Gib Griffith Road in Robbins. Harold Dean Griffith, age 74, was found deceased inside an outbuilding located on the property. During the course of the investigation, authorities developed information that identified 51-year-old Harold David Griffith, the victim’s son, as the individual responsible for the crime.

Last week, the Scott County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Harold David Griffith with second-degree murder and theft over $1,000. Griffith was arrested yesterday and booked into the Scott County jail on a $250,000 bond.
