A joint investigation by special agents with the Drug Investigation Division of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Dunlap Police Department, Sequatchie County Sheriff’s Office, and the 12th District Attorney General’s Office has resulted in the indictment of a Sequatchie County man, in connection to the drug-related death of a Dunlap resident.

In November 2020, agents joined officers and deputies in investigating the death of 20-year-old Garrett Layne Castle. He was found deceased on November 12, 2020. His cause of death was determined to be fentanyl toxicity. The investigation identified 20-year-old Taylor Farley as the individual who allegedly provided the drugs to the victim.

Yesterday (May 24, 2021), a Sequatchie County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Farley with second degree murder. Farley was arrested and booked into the Sequatchie County Jail.
