Theft In Knox County

Knox County Sheriff's Deputy Claude Hudson says, while he was driving on Highway 225 Thursday, he noticed Earl Gray and Johnny Ray Jordan on a four-wheeler pulling a trailer with a large piece of steel metal on the back of a four-wheeler. Hudson questioned the men and was told they found it in the woods. Hudson discovered a bench warrant for Gray and arrested him. Friday morning, Mountain Ridge Drilling reported a metal theft. Deputies found the metal at a scrap yard and returned it to the owners. Gray was released on bond before he was charged with theft, and deputies are looking for both him and Jordan.
