CUMBERLAND COUNTY – Special agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have arrested and charged a Crossville man, accused of illegally possessing a firearm, during the ongoing investigation into the shooting death of his wife.

At the request of 13^th Judicial District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, TBI special agents joined the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the death of 52-year-old Terri Loretta Pitton on Tuesday, shortly after authorities found her with a gunshot wound at the couple’s home in the 700 block of Brown Road in Crossville. Pitton subsequently died from her injuries. Authorities later determined Pitton’s husband, Donald Wayne Jackson, has a felony criminal history and should not have firearms.

On Wednesday, agents arrested and charged Jackson (DOB 8-10-83) with one count of Unlawful Carrying or Possession of a Firearm. Authorities subsequently booked him into the Cumberland County Jail on a $20,00 bond. The investigation into Pitton’s death remained active and ongoing at the time of this release.
