ROANE COUNTY DEPUTIES CATCH 3 PEOPLE ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPTING TO STEAL SCRAP AC UNITS
Three people have been charged with theft of property in Roane County. Deputies were called an area of Cave Creek Rd. for the report of someone taking old air conditioning units off the complainant’s property. Two men and one woman were observed sitting in a silver, Dodge Caravan at the scene. The three suspects were identified as Tammie Hargett, Jonathan Hargett and Patrick Albritton, all of Lenoir City. They told officers that they did not believe the units, which were sitting in a field, belonged to anyone. The van’s back doors were open with the inside seat pushed down and dirt on the floor. Drag marks were also present in the grass leading to the back of the van. The complainant stated that the old units were stored in the field for his son’s business. All three were taken into custody and were additionally charged with criminal trespassing.
