Jacksonville Woman Booked on 10 Charges After Pursuit; Deputy Faircloth Indicted

A Jacksonville woman faces a slate of 10 criminal charges after what local prosecutors and law enforcement describe as a short pursuit that began as a traffic stop and ended with deputies taking the driver into custody," the initial report states, a running account that led to her booking at the Morgan County jail.

According to a local booking fragment, "She was booked into the Morgan County jail about 1:13 a.m. Friday on charges of reckless driving, aggravated fleeing police, improper lane use," with record excerpts indicating the total number of charges against her at 10. The report does not include her name, age, bond amount, or a full enumeration of the remaining charges.

Law enforcement descriptions supplied to local media characterize the sequence as a traffic stop that escalated into a short pursuit and concluded with deputies taking the driver into custody. The arresting deputies, pursuit distance, any use-of-force details, vehicle information, and whether the vehicle was impounded were not disclosed in the available reports.

In a separate and unrelated development inside Morgan County jurisdiction, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation release republished by TBINewsroom states that special agents obtained indictments against Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Charles Faircloth, DOB 6/10/1968. "On May 2, 2025, agents began investigating the incident at the request of 9th Judicial District Attorney General Russell Johnson," the release says, tying the probe to a burglary call in Harriman.

The TBI release states that investigators concluded "Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Charles Faircloth (DOB 6/10/1968) shot and killed John Cox (DOB 5/30/1996) after responding to a burglary call at a home in the 300 block of Ray Cross Road in Harriman." The Morgan County Grand Jury returned indictments on May 19, 2025, charging Faircloth with one count of Criminally Negligent Homicide and one count of Official Misconduct.

TBINewsroom reported that "This morning, Faircloth surrendered to authorities at the Loudon County Jail, where he was subsequently booked on a $5,000 bond." The release carries the TBI’s legal disclaimer: "The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely accusations of criminal conduct, not evidence. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law."

Key public records remain outstanding for the Jacksonville pursuit: the defendant’s identity and booking number, the calendar date that corresponds to the "about 1:13 a.m. Friday" booking time, the complete list of the 10 charges, any dashcam or bodycam footage, and court dates or bond information. For the Faircloth matter, TBI and court records can confirm arraignment scheduling, case numbers, and any additional officers named in the investigation.

Both matters are active in the criminal justice system: the Jacksonville case currently reflects local booking entries and media reports, while the Faircloth case proceeded to grand jury indictments and a booked surrender on a $5,000 bond. Reporters will seek charging documents from Morgan County court clerks, booking logs from the Morgan County jail, and confirmation from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and 9th Judicial District Attorney General Russell Johnson to verify next court dates and complete charges.
