Morristown family charged after business shot at, police say
Five members of the same family were charged, according to officials with the Hamblen County Sheriff’s Office.
MORRISTOWN, Tenn. (WVLT) - Five family members were charged after an incident this week, according to officials with the Hamblen County Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation began after a business was damaged by gunfire.
Two juveniles were charged with reckless endangerment, unlawful possession of a firearm and vandalism.
“Information we were able to obtain through a recently installed flock camera was essential in locating the vehicle involved,” Det. Lt. Jim Brooks stated. “Once we located the vehicle, we had no problem determining the individuals who were involved.”
When the juveniles were arrested, that’s when three other family members were charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and simple possession.
“On behalf of Det. Sgt. Joshua Price and myself, I want to thank the Morristown Police Department, the White Pine Police Department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol for their assistance in resolving this case,” Brooks said.
Additional charges may be pending.
