Recent indictees, including trusty who fled, arraigned in circuit court

Wednesday, August 20, 2008
A Dyer County Jail trusty who fled while working at the city golf course was arraigned Monday, Aug. 18, on two new indictments.

David Edward Pollock, 26, 1118 Hart St., was named in one indictment for escape and theft of property in excess of $1,000 and in a second indictment for vandalism less than $500.

Pollock was working at the Dyersburg Municipal Golf Course on July 7 when he commandeered a six-wheel John Deere Gator and drove away.

Nine days later, Pollock broke two sprinkler heads in the jail. He reportedly was protesting the fact that he'd been moved to a different cell.

The public defender's office was appointed to represent Pollock in court. He is scheduled to appear again in Dyer County Circuit Court on Sept. 30.

A Dyer County grand jury indicted Pollock and several other persons on Aug. 11. Thirty of the 78 indictments were straight indictments, meaning those cases didn't originate in a lower court. The straight indictments, which are often called "secret" indictments, remain sealed until the indictee has been contacted.

Pollock was one of those named in the secret indictments. Others included the following:

* Denise Akers, 4177 Lenox Nauvoo Road, was indicted for three counts of forgery and theft of property in excess of $1,000. She is scheduled to return to court at 9 a.m. Oct. 7.

* Troy Anderson Sr. and his son, Troy Anderson Jr., address unavailable, were indicted on a charge of theft of property over $500. They are scheduled to return to court at 1 p.m. Aug. 26.

* Cortez Cooper, 19, of Schaffer Street, was indicted for theft of property in excess of $1,000. He is currently in the custody of the Tennessee Department of Correction and is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 2.

* Angela Pevahouse, 26, of Dyersburg, was indicted for aggravated burglary, theft of property in excess of $1,000 and felony failure to appear. She is scheduled to return to circuit court on Sept. 30.

* Shelly Essary, address unavailable, was indicted for felony failure to appear. She was accused of failing to return to the jail after leaving a rehabilitation program, but she told Judge Lee Moore Monday that she was already serving a 30-day sentence on that charge from general sessions court. Essary is scheduled to return to circuit court on Aug. 19.

* Marcella Estes, address unavailable, was indicted for filing a false police report and theft of property in excess of $1,000. She is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 14.

* Missy Floyd, 530 McGaughey St., Apartment 4, was indicted for theft of property less than $500 and two counts of forgery. She is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 14.

* David Lee Hardin, 709 Byars, was indicted for forgery. He is reported to be in the Wayne County jail so his arraignment was rescheduled for Sept. 2.

* Joey C. McMillen, 615 Morning Road, and Andre Tipton, 169 Katie Cove, were indicted for two counts of theft of property in excess of $500. McMillen was told to hire an attorney and return for his arraignment on Sept. 8. Tipton was arraigned and is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 6.

* Jeremy Scott Moore, 25, 2441 St. John Ave., was indicted for felony failure to appear. He is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 16.

* Tara Nelson, also known as Tara Finch, 609 Roberts Ave., was indicted for forgery. She is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 7.

* Winston Sharp, address unavailable, was indicted for forgery and is to appear again on Oct. 21.

* James Alton Walton, 30, 43 Walton Road, was named in a two indictments, one of which was secret. Both indictments list aggravated burglary and theft of property in excess of $1,000. He is scheduled to appear in court again on Sept. 30.

The district attorney's office announced that it would not prosecute charges against four of the persons indicted Aug. 11. These include:

* Eddie Lee Neal, address unavailable, who had been indicted for forgery.

* Jessica Nicole Sawyers, address unavailable, who had been indicted for possession of more than half a gram of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of more than half an ounce of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of a Schedule III controlled substance with intent to sell and possession of a Schedule IV controlled substance with intent to sell.

* Preston Todd Thrasher, 41, 476 Katie Cove, who had been indicted for driving without his driver's license. He now has his license.
