The Roane County Sheriff’s Department processed two individuals into the jail Thursday night. Casey Lee Ridenour, age 21, is charged with second degree murder and abuse of a corpse. He is being held on just over a half million dollar bond and is scheduled to make his first court appearance this Tuesday, December 15, 2020.

Samuel Lee Cook, age 33, was taken into the jail just 4 hours after Ridenour and also faces second degree murder and abuse of a corpse. His bond was also initially set at just over a half million dollars.

Details of the offenses will be released Monday by the court.
