According to the Cumberland County General Sessions Court criminal docket and accompanying affidavits of complaint, Robert Jerome Thorn faces four charges of fraudulent use or illegal possession of a credit or debit card for amounts between $1,000 and $2,500.

Represented by a public defender, Thorn’s charges stem from a series of incidents on January 18, 2025, in Crossville, Tennessee. Law enforcement officials report that cards stolen from a Cracker Barrel location were used by Thorn and a co-defendant, Kachae Jackson, to make unauthorized purchases at local Staples and CVS stores.

The fraudulent transactions included an estimated total of over $3,070 using cards from one set of victims, alongside an additional $4,504.63 in unauthorized charges from a separate victim’s cards.

Surveillance footage captured a male and female subject executing the transactions, and the Cookeville Police Department later apprehended Thorn and Jackson while they were wearing the exact clothing seen on the security video.
