Report of Attempt to Lure a Minor — On July 12, 2024, at approximately 4:01 p.m., dispatch advised that a visitor in the lobby reported a child sex predator. Deputy Furr arrived on scene at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, located at 210 Norandal Drive, and found two male subjects, Eddie and Tate Koebel, sitting outside.

Tate Koebel reported creating a Grindr account posing as a 13-year-old boy to lure a male subject to an abandoned house on North Street. Eddie Koebel confirmed they had permission to use the vacant house, belonging to a friend.

Tate explained that a suspect in a black truck arrived but refused to roll down the windows or exit the vehicle. Eddie blocked the truck in the driveway, but the truck attempted to leave by driving up an embankment.

Tate and Eddie came to the sheriff’s office immediately to report the incident. Tate showed Deputy Furr a video of the truck and text messages between him and the suspect. The truck’s tag was traced to a 2018 RAM 150 registered to Blake Gran of 547 US Highway 45 W, Humboldt. The truck had dark tinted windows, obscuring the interior.

A check of the tag on the Criminal Justice Portal linked it to a driver’s license number. While discussing the messages, the suspect deleted his Grindr account, but Tate had screenshots of their exchanges.

This case has been referred to Investigator Eric Sawyers and is currently under investigation. The incident has also been turned over to the TBI and FBI for further investigation.

Report of Alleged Assault — On July 15, units were dispatched to 2782 McLemoresville Rd, Huntingdon, for an alleged assault. Upon arrival, a female on the porch, identified as Sherry McCaslin, was encountered. A male with a cane, identified as Randall Jones, the caller, exited the home and approached. By his speech and walk, Randall appeared intoxicated.

The situation required de-escalation as Sherry began to yell and call Randall a liar. A second male, Vernon Jones, appeared at the door but his comments were inaudible over the argument. Vernon seemed to side with Sherry. Once calmed, Randall claimed Sherry scratched his face and bit his nose. He had a bloody nose but no visible bite marks. Blood was noted on his neck, but the cause of the markings was unclear. Randall displayed several old bruises and bandages on his knees, which he attributed to falls. He refused to provide a statement, only wanting Sherry removed from the home.

Inside, Sherry provided her side of the story, stating Randall often gets drunk, injures himself, and blames her and Vernon. Dried blood was observed on the walls and floor. Sherry did not wish to make a statement, desiring only for Randall to leave. Both parties agreed to separate for the night.

During the investigation, dispatch indicated that the given ID of Lola Campbell was not valid. Sherry, still on the porch, was asked for her middle name, initially stating “Jones” before correcting to “Faye.” Three deputies questioned her, suspecting she was lying about her identity. Despite claims of having a Tennessee ID, she was informed she would be arrested for failing to properly identify herself. She resisted and retreated inside. A deputy stopped her, leading to a struggle. A Taser was used to subdue her, but she continued to resist. After a second Taser deployment, she was arrested.

Upon further questioning, Sherry admitted her name and date of birth as Sherry McCaslin, which matched warrants out of Gibson County. She was transported to Carroll County Jail, charged with resisting arrest and criminal impersonation.
