Correction
- Mon, Jul 26, 2010
A man arrested at a Clinton residence by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department on Monday, June 12, was wanted on five counts of sexual battery of a child under 12-years-of-age.
The Courier-News incorrectly said Roberts is “a sex offender” on in the July 25 edition. He is charged, but he has not been convicted of those crimes.
Anderson County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Mark Lucas issued a press release on July 13 stating Roberts had been caught by the ACSD, assisted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, after surveillance of a residence on Joe Owen Road, in Clinton, where Roberts was thought to be staying.
The ACSD press release said Roberts was sought by authorities after being charged with the crimes in Hamilton County.
The Courier News regrets the error.
