Indictments: 6/17/22 & 7/8/22

The following indictments were returned by the Grand Jury of the Carter Circuit Court on June 17, 2022 and July 8, 2022. An indictment is not a determination of guilt or innocence. It is simply a charge that an offense has been committed and indicates that a case is pending on the charges listed. All defendants have the presumption of innocence until found guilty in a court of law.  

Though it is a part of the public record, the Carter County Times does not make a habit of printing the names of minor children or the victims of alleged crimes, except under exceptional circumstances.
