ACCORDING TO A REPORT BY THE CROSSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, On March 20, 2026, at approximately 11:38 p.m., Crossville police responded to a burglary alarm at the Sunoco station on Highway 70 East. Officers discovered an open side door and numerous broken Bootlegger alcohol bottles inside, along with shoeprints in the spilled liquid. The building was cleared, and an employee responded to the scene.

Surveillance video captured a white Ford Explorer with front driver’s side damage, a broken passenger taillight, missing paint, and rust on the roof. The suspect, seen wearing Nike high-top shoes, a tank top, black pants, and a white hat with a yellow symbol, stole Bootlegger liquor bottles, Twisted Teas, and THC vapes before fleeing.

The following day, officers reviewed additional video footage and used Flock cameras to identify the suspect vehicle, which was registered to Khalli Dishman. On the evening of March 21, 2026, the vehicle was located and stopped. Dishman, who was wearing the same distinctive white hat from the video, was detained and read his Miranda rights.

He admitted to committing the burglary, stating he did it to “fit in” due to peer pressure. He confessed to taking the alcohol and vapes to a bonfire near Ozone and consented to a search of his vehicle, which contained empty Bootlegger and Twisted Tea bottles matching the stolen items.

The vehicle’s damage also matched the surveillance footage. Dishman was arrested and transported to the Cumberland County Justice Center, where he was charged with burglary and theft of merchandise valued under $1,000.
