Two Warren County men face charges of attempted aggravated robbery after a botched attempt to take a McMinnville Highway man’s wallet at knifepoint on April 29.

 

According to Sheriff Patrick Ray, Logan Tyler Martin, 19, and 18-year-old Charles Robert Fults, Jr., both of McMinnville, drove up to a local home where the intended victim was working in his yard. Fults allegedly exited the passenger side of the vehicle and drew a knife as he approached the resident, demanding the man’s wallet.

 

When the victim refused to give the wallet up, Fults reportedly got back into the vehicle, with Martin behind the wheel, and the two drove away. After the incident was reported to central dispatch, a "Be On The Lookout" (BOLO) was issued to other law enforcement agencies, and the vehicle was spotted in Warren County, where the duo was arrested.

 

Bond for both men was set at $10,000, and they will appear in court on May 19.

 

Meanwhile, 42-year-old John Allen Judkins, Jr. (AKA J.J. Judkins) was charged with aggravated burglary and theft of property over $1,000 on April 24.

 

Judkins allegedly broke into a Nashville Highway home and stole a Craftsman saw, a reciprocating saw, a jigsaw, a pole saw, a chainsaw, a charger, a Stihl weed eater, drill bits and saw blades, all valued at approximately $1,270.

 

The stolen items have been recovered. The case was investigated by a sheriff’s department detective.

 

His bond was set at $10,000, and he will appear in court on May 12.

 

Christy Lynn Berry, 33, was charged with domestic assault on April 26.

 

The sheriff said a deputy responding to a domestic situation in progress at a Sparta Highway home spoke with Berry’s husband, who said that his wife had hit him in the face and held him down, keeping him from calling for help.

 

He allegedly had marks on his right shoulder and around the bottom of his neck. Berry was determined to have been the primary aggressor, and she was placed under arrest.

 

Her bond was set at $1,500, and she will appear in court on May 5.
