Lindsey case goes to grand jury
Felony charges brought against James Lindsey
by state investigators in April will go before a
Henderson County Grand Jury.
Court officials said the case was passed on to
the grand jury at Lindsey’s request during a
General Sessions court appearance yesterday.
In April, Tennessee Department of Agriculture
Public Information Officer Tom Womack confirmed that investigators with the department’s
Agricultural Crime Unit arrested James H. Lindsey, 59, of 340 Lindsey Cemetery Road, Lexington and charged him with vandalism over
$1,000, a Class D felony.
Womack said the arrest was the result of an
investigation into the clearing of an area of
Natchez Trace State Forest in the TimberlakeWildersville Road area.
Lindsey has made multiple headlines this year,
first as a potential challenger to the tenure of
incumbent County Highway Superintendent

Would-be thief gets fenced in
Lexington police officers arrested a juvenile
Saturday who probably
wishes he’d just sat

the
movie.
According to a report
filed with the department, a 17-year -old
juvenile attempted to
Southern
burglarize
Networking Solutions,
76 S. Main Street, Saturday night but soon
found himself corralled.
LPD Commander Jeff
Middleton said the
juvenile apparently left
the Princess Theater,
where he was watching
a movie with his mother, to break into the
business.
“Evidently this kid
was there watching to
movie with his mom
and
somehow
or
another he leaves the
building, goes next
door and tries to break
in,” Middleton said.
The report states that
the would-be burglar
told officers he was
looking for money, and
after failing to find any
in the business he
attempted to leave the
building through the

before the county’s
ethics committee.
Hensley has since
been the subject of
multiple investigations
into the allegations
made by Lindsey that
he (Hensley) misused
and misappropriated
board that the new Parsons substation is tentatively scheduled to be
operational by April of
next year. But Ujcich
said that date could be
moved back by TVA.
“We will know in
October what TVA’s
schedule is for acquiring the right-of-way
that they will need to
supply the substation,
and that could push
our completion date
back as far as 180
days,” Ujcich told the
board.
Ujcich also said he
would be attending a
meeting with the consulting firm Fisher &
Arnold, of Memphis,
county, state and possibly federal funds and
equipment.

headlines after he and

Lastly, Ujcich spoke
about the nearly 20

they
worked to repair stormdamaged lines both Friday night and Saturday.
“I was out with them
for a little over 13 hours

Middleton said the
young man did attempt
to climb the fence and
injured himself on the
razor wire surrounding
the top of the fence.
“He tried to climb

Middleton said.
The youth was transported to Henderson

Middleton said the

FROM THE MESSENGERS
A Message From God
Isaiah 66:1-4: Thus says God: “With heaven my throne and earth my footstool,
what house could you build me, what place could you make for my rest? All of this
(the universe) was made by my hand and all of this is mine – it is God who speaks.
But my eyes are drawn to the man of humbled and contrite spirit, who trembles at my
word. Some immolate an ox, some slaughter a man, some sacrifice a lamb, and some
strangle a dog. Some offer oblations of pig’s blood, some burn memorial incense,
and some consecrate idols. Since they elect to follow their own ways, and their souls
delight in their abominations, I in my turn will select hardships for them and bring
them what they dread; for I called and no one would answer. I spoke and they would
not listen. They did what I considered evil; they chose to do what displeases me.”
Isaiah 66:16-17: For by fire will God execute judgment, and by His sword, against
all mankind, the victims of God will be many. As for these who sanctify themselves
and purify themselves to enter the gardens, following the one in the center, who eat
the flesh of pigs, reptiles, and rats: their deeds and their thoughts shall end all at once
– it is God who speaks.
Isaiah 66:22-23: “For as the new heavens and the new earth I shall make will
endure before me – it is God who speaks – so will your name and your race endure.”
(Read Revelation 21:1-8) “From new moon to new moon, from Sabbath to Sabbath,
(God’s 7th Day) all mankind will come to bow down in My Presence,” says God.
