The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a suspect who robbed the CVS Pharmacy at 4500 Maynardville Highway of oxycontin pills Thursday night.  The incident occurred shortly after 8 p.m. when a white male entered the store and gave a clerk a note that said he would kill her if she didn’t give him all the “oxys” and that it wasn’t a joke.   She complied and a witness followed the suspect out and chased him until he lost sight of him.  A caller to dispatch said that he saw a white male run from the store and get into a white and red Astro minivan.

The suspect is described as stocky, about 200 pounds, 5’10”, with brown hair.  Anyone with information is asked to call the KCSO at 215-2243.

The Knox County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting death of a North Knox County man that happened on Monday, February 8th.   The Medical Examiner’s Office reports that 55 year old Darrell Eugene McFalls died from multiple gunshot wounds.  He was found in his home at 6517 Greer Road shortly before 7 p.m.  on Monday. 

Vickie Perry

The live-in girlfriend of a man found dead in his Deaderick Road house on Saturday has been charged with his murder.  Fifty year old Vickie Perry has been charged with second degree murder in the death of 77 year old Roe Tolliver.  She is being held on a $250,000 bond in the Knox County Jail.  

An autopsy conducted on Monday revealed that Tolliver died from multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma.  Knox County Sheriff’s Detectives located Perry to Straw Plains and arrested her on theft charges after they found articles missing from Tolliver’s house in her possession.  She was charged with his murder after the autopsy.   She told detectives that she and Tolliver had argued on January 24th.

Tolliver’s nephew, who lived next door, became suspicious when he had not seen his uncle for two weeks.  He broke into a side window and found the victim.
