The police report on the theft of signs
incident from the yard of a house on Mockingbird Drive lists two
suspects as Jesse Kerley and his father Jerry Kerley. In addition,
the license tag number reported by a witness is to a White 2008 Chevy
pickup truck that is registered to Jerry Kerley.
The incident happened Friday morning at
around 9:00 am and the report was written by city police officer Joel
Stevens. The victim is listed on the report as 54 year old J. R.
Blankenship and the value of the signs was listed as $500.00.
Still from the witness video showing truck registered
to Jerry Kerley, father of councilman Jesse Kerley.
According to Crossville police
detective J. C. Hancock who initially began working on the
investigation, the case has been turned over by the district
attorney's office for further investigation.
Crossville councilman Danny Wyatt was
asked for comments about the incident and said “I don't know how
you comment on something like that.”
Councilman Pete Souza, who had been
accused by the Kerleys of having something to do with the signs put
up by Blankenship and may have led to the altercation between Souza
and councilman Kerley said, “This action goes beyond responsible
behavior and the parties involved are out of control.”
