Mar. 6—A man authorities said was involved with another in the burglary and attempted burglaries of storage units behind a business on N. Main St. on New Year's eve has been indicted by the Cumberland County grand jury.

David Cherokee Frye, 37, no address available, is one of 22 persons indicted by the grand jury on Feb. 27. Those defendants will appear in Cumberland County Criminal Court on March 20 for arraignment.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt, but a review of pending charges by a citizen panel called the grand jury that hears evidence and determines if there is enough evidence to forward the charge to a higher court for further judicial review.

Crossville Police were alerted by management at Exit Rocky Top Realty of a storage unit burglary and damage to up to nearly two dozen units on Dec. 31, 2022. Investigation by Det. Tyrel Lorenz and Sgt. Scott Van Ruden led to the arrest of Frye at the time.

Evidence was presented to the grand jury, including the business' surveillance video, and a true bill was returned.
