In news today…

On Thursday, October 1st, Cleveland Police Department officers were dispatched to Rack Room Shoes at 300 Paul Huff Parkway in reference to a robbery. According to witnesses, four African Americans, one male and three females, entered Rack Room Shoes, proceeded to the women’s section, grabbed stacks of Timberland boots and put them into bags. The suspects made their way toward the exit, pushing a female employee who was trying to stop the theft from occurring. The employee was punched in the face by the male and then hit in the head with a box of shoes by one of the suspects.

The suspects then got into a Nissan Altima and headed toward I-75 south. Officers in unmarked vehicles assigned to Cleveland Police Department’s Crime Suppression Unit had contact with the vehicle on I-75 heading toward Hamilton County. Information was relayed to surrounding agencies, however, officers lost contact with the vehicle. Officers from neighboring agencies re-established contact, leading into a pursuit of the suspect vehicle. After a lengthy pursuit, the suspects were taken into custody.  A portion of the stolen items were recovered. 

The suspects have been identified as Tavarus Crutcher, Mykia Crutcher, Desiree Logan, and Roder Butler, all from Nashville. The suspects have been charged with Criminal Conspiracy, Theft over $1000, and Assault.

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn maintained Tuesday that she regularly wears masks after being photographed without a face covering at a recent White House event where multiple attendees have since tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Tennessee Republican was at the White House on Sept. 26 when President Donald Trump announced the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. She attended as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is set to begin the confirmation hearing next week.

Those present were largely outdoors, but they sat shoulder to shoulder with barely a mask in sight — including Blackburn. 

Blackburn, 68, had also traveled with Trump ahead of the Sept. 29 debate. However, despite being exposed to the virus, Blackburn said the recent events have not changed her behavior.

Another judge has recused himself from an upcoming case involving District Attorney Judge Steve Crump.

Grundy County Judge Justin Angel submitted a request to be taken off the case.

Judge Angel told Channel 3, “I accepted the appointment without knowledge of the case. Upon receiving and reviewing the pleadings, I discovered a potential conflict. Out of an abundance of caution, I decided to recuse myself from this matter.”

This is less than a month after Judge Andrew Mark Freiberg recused himself from the upcoming case involving Miranda Cheatham and Crump. Angel was meant to replace Freiberg after the recusal.

Crump was accused of withholding evidence of an alleged affair, which was used to allegedly blackmail him into securing a murder conviction against Miranda Cheatham, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the death of her husband.
