Theft, drug possession, assault prevail before grand jury

The Mountain Press - 7/23/2017

SEVIER COUNTY -- A Sevier County grand jury returned dozens of indictments last month.

A new grand jury is selected every two months and meets to review allegations. If there is not enough evidence to merit a trial, it can return a finding of "no true bill." If it finds there is enough evidence to proceed, it can return an indictment or a presentment.

Indictments are returned in cases where the charges against the accused party have already been announced in general sessions court, and a judge has sent the matter to the grand jury. Presentments are returned when the grand jury issues charges that had not been announced previously.

Names that are listed more than once in the list of indictments represent people who faced multiple indictments.

When multiple names are listed with the same charges, they indicate multiple parties were indicted for the same offense.

The following is Part 1 (names beginning in A-L) of a 2-part list of findings.

Last week the grand jury returned no true bills in the following cases:

Will Castro -- fraudulent use of credit card

Cole Douglas -- domestic assault
