If Someone Offers You a Ride to the Airport...

Locals arrested in McNairy County:

In October the Sheriff's Office was contacted concerning a high profile burglary in Adamsville, we assisted the Police Department with processing the crime scene and began working the case at the request of the District Attorney's Office and with the cooperation of the Adamsville Police Department. The Sheriff's Office has executed over a dozen search warrants in Tennessee and Alabama and interviewed dozens of witnesses and suspects. On March 26th we were able to Arrest Shawn Vandiver of Russelville Alabama and have issued an Arrest Warrant for Kathy Aaron of Muscle Shoals Alabama.

This case is an example of the expertise and hard work of the employee's of the Sheriff's Office. This investigation was technically and financially complex and worked completely by the Investigators at the Sheriff's Office. Great job to Investigators Hitchborn, Kellum and Johnson and Chief Deputy Strickland.

According to other sources, only 60K of the cash and none of the electronics have been recovered in the theft of possibly 250K. Aaron was a former employee of the victim who offered him a ride to the airport. You just can't hire good help anymore...

The victim's statement:

"I am deeply saddened and disappointed to learn that a former employee and co-worker was involved in such a vicious crime. I do have complete faith in our justice system and look forward to seeing all parties involved being brought to justice and prosecuted appropriately. Over the last six months I have been so impatient so much of the time and wondered where are my rights as a victim. It seemed to be all about the rights of who we knew broke into my home. I had to turn it over to a just God that knew exactly who did it and had a plan to bring them to justice all along. I knew Sheriff Buck and his staff was doing all they could do. My only advice is to protect yourself and your home as best as you can and if it happens to you, let the system work. I do want to say thank you to Guy Buck and the McNairy County Sheriff's for the countless hours that they worked to solve this case. Also, to Bob Gray in the district attorney's office, without his help none of this would have been possible." Shoalanda
