ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY THE CROSSVILLE POLICE, On March 29, 2026, at approximately 10:47 PM, Crossville Police responded to a reported assault at 209 Peavine Road. The victim had multiple lacerations on his left arm and stated that Lura Estevez had attacked him inside her vehicle around 10:20 PM while they were traveling to Short Road. According to the victim, Estevez stabbed and struck him with an umbrella that broke during the assault.

He explained that the incident stemmed from a drug deal in Nashville earlier that day involving himself, Estevez, and a man referred to as “little” John Kelly. The deal went bad, Estevez was robbed of several hundred dollars, and she subsequently blamed the victim for the failure, leading to the attack. The victim agreed to press charges.

Officers located Estevez’s gold 2003 Ford Expedition at Short Road. In plain view inside the vehicle, they observed the broken umbrella matching the victim’s description, along with a small apparent blood stain on the rear seat. With the property owner’s permission, officers searched the residence, but Estevez was not found. Warrants have been signed for her arrest on a charge of aggravated assault. Photos of the umbrella and blood stain were collected as evidence.

The victim declined hospital transport but allowed EMS to bandage his arm.
