JOSHUA BRADLEY RUBY FACES MULTIPLE FELONY CHARGES IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT DEADLINE HEARING

Joshua Bradley Ruby, 40, is scheduled for a court deadline hearing in the Cumberland County Circuit Court on November 17, 2026, facing multiple felony charges stemming from a string of violent crimes and armed robberies across the county earlier this year.
The upcoming court docket lists three active criminal cases against Ruby, who is represented by the Public Defender’s office:
  • Case 18CC1-2026-CR-17: Aggravated assault (TCA § 39-13-102), filed June 16, 2026, stemming from an October 2025 weapon incident in the Westel Community. Bond is set at $75,000.
  • Case 18CC1-2026-CR-18: Aggravated robbery (TCA § 39-13-402), filed April 7, 2026, related to the January 12 robbery of the Cumberland Cove Market and Deli. Bond is set at $150,000.
  • Case 18CC1-2026-CR-19: Aggravated robbery (TCA § 39-13-402) and aggravated criminal trespass (TCA § 39-14-406), filed April 7, 2026, connected to the armed robbery of the Marathon Convenience Market on West Avenue investigated by the Crossville Police Department. Bond is set at $75,000.
Ruby’s legal troubles began following a January 14, 2026, standoff on Garrison Lane in the Grandview Community, where Cumberland County Sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant and took him into custody after he barricaded himself inside a travel trailer. Law enforcement initially linked him to the Cumberland Cove Market robbery through surveillance footage of a black Saturn Vue.
Total bonds across his active dockets approach $300,000, and he remains detained pending ongoing judicial proceedings.
