A Smithville man has been charged with aggravated statutory rape for having sex with a minor.

36 year old Greg Alan Fox of Big Hurricane Road is under a $75,000 bond and he will make a court appearance on August 8.

According to the offense, on May 5, 2018 Fox did unlawfully have sex with a 15 year old female and that he is more than 10 years older than the female victim.

The case was investigated by the Sheriff’s Department.

Meanwhile 43 year old Jimmy Layne Estes of Crestlawn Avenue has been charged by Smithville Police with theft. He is under a $7,000 bond and will be in court on August 15.

Police report that on July 24 Estes took 10 Lisinopril, 3 suboxone pills, 2 IBU pills, 6 Gabepentin pills, 6 Zoloft pills, and 5 Lipitor pills that were in a pill organizer. Also taken was a TN ID card and $30 in cash. The victim told police that she saw Estes him reach into her purse and grab an item and run out the front door. She also stated that she had closed and zipped her purse a short time earlier and no one else had access to it. The items were not recovered.

A Liberty man whose car crashed into a tree while he was trying to outrun a deputy during a pursuit will be in court on a variety of charges next week.

49 year old David Dewayne Anderson of Deadmon Hollow Road was arrested July 19 for a 2nd offense of driving while license suspended; possession with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver methamphetamine; evading arrest in a vehicle and on foot; reckless endangerment; failure to appear; and three counts of probation violation. His bond totals $15,000 and his court date is August 8.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on July 19 a deputy spotted Anderson in a maroon Honda Passport and tried to pull him over on the Old Mill Hill Road. Anderson failed to stop even when the officer activated his blue lights and siren until he left the road in a curve and crashed into a tree. Before the wreck, Anderson had crossed in and out of both lanes and at one point came close to hitting an oncoming car. After the crash, Anderson bailed out of the car and tried to flee on foot down an embankment toward Dry Creek Road but the officer caught up with him.

During a search the deputy found in Anderson’s car a clear pipe which contained 0.19 grams of a clear crystal like substance believed to be methamphetamine. A check showed that Anderson’s driver license was suspended for failure to maintain proof of financial responsibility on July 14, 2016. He has one prior offense against him for driving while suspended on January 11, 2018. He was placed under arrest and brought to the jail.

50 year old Charles Monroe Skinner of Dixon Springs is charged with public intoxication. His bond is $1,500 and he will be in court August 8.

Sheriff Ray said that on July 20 a deputy responded to a business on Highway 70 where Skinner was intoxicated and trying to buy more alcohol. As the officer spoke with Skinner he smelled a strong odor of alcohol on him. Due to his intoxicated state, Skinner was placed under arrest.
