GIBSON COUNTY, TN- On September 11, 2026, in the Circuit Court of Gibson County, Tennessee, the Honorable Clayburn Peeples denied the Petition for Post-Conviction Relief filed by defendant Bobby Marable, II. The Petition alleged that his trial attorney failed to provide effective assistance of counsel and the defendant was denied a fair trial due to alleged errors. After a full hearing involving testimony of the defendant and his trial counsel, review of the court record, and the appellate decision in this case which affirmed defendant’s convictions, the Court found that the trial attorney provided effective legal assistance and the defendant failed to establish material errors occurred that affected the outcome of the trial.

On November 23, 2021, after a jury trial, Marable was convicted of Aggravated Kidnapping and Aggravated Assault. The Court sentenced him to serve an effective sentence of 30 years in the Tennessee Department of Correction, 20 years of which are to be served at 100%.

On May 10, 2016, Marable strangled the victim, with whom he had been dating, until she passed out. When she regained consciousness, he had taken her against her will from her home in Milan and drove her to his residence in Humboldt. For hours, he prevented her from leaving, but she was able to eventually flee to the residence of a neighbor, who drove her back to Milan. Marable inflicted bodily injury to the victim during these offenses.

“When you take a criminal case to jury trial and successfully convict a defendant that is not the end of the case because it will be on appeal and post-conviction for years if not decades. This is another box checked in making sure the Defendant in this case serves out his full sentence. Our Office is grateful that the jury correctly evaluated the proof presented at trial and Judge Peeples sentenced this dangerous registered s*x offender to an appropriately lengthy sentence to protect not only this victim but our community, from the defendant’s violent acts. The Court’s denial of this Petition keeps Marable where he belongs – in prison.”

We want to recognize the hard work of our prosecutors and staff in Gibson County Circuit Court last Monday, August 24, 2026.

Circuit Court days are often the busiest and most productive workdays for our Office. Hundreds of defendants appear before the Honorable Clayburn Peeples to be arraigned, enter pleas, set cases for trial, or attend hearings. Because the majority of each County’s Circuit Court cases are heard on the same docket court date, these days can be arduous for everyone involved.

Monday’s docket was no exception, with 195 cases on the agenda. Court began at 8:30 a.m. and lasted until 7:00 p.m. Circuit Court dockets require extensive preparation, which include running criminal history checks, reviewing casefile discovery, requesting additional investigative information, consulting with victims and/or their families, meeting with defense attorneys, etc.

We appreciate our prosecutors and staff for their valuable time, effort, and dedication to serving Gibson County. Long court days like last Monday require concerted teamwork and patience, and everyone performed their jobs professionally from beginning to end.

We also want to thank the law enforcement officers, victims, and witnesses who appeared in court for hearings or assistance with these cases.

We are proud of our attorneys and staff and grateful for the work they do each day for the citizens of Gibson County.

Houge Indicted for Safari Corner Market Murder

CROCKETT COUNTY, TN- On August 24, 2026, the Crockett County Grand Jury indicted Corey William Douglas Houge for the murder of Shahed Rana Mohsin, the clerk in Safari Corner Market in Bells, TN, committed on August 23, 2026.

The charges included in the indictment are:

First Degree Premeditated Murder
First Degree Murder in Perpetration of a Felony
Especially Aggravated Robbery
Multiple Counts of Employing a Fi***rm during the Commission of a Dangerous Felony with a Prior Felony Conviction
Possession of a Fi***rm by a Convicted Felon

“This violent case is not a reflection on Crockett County, which is one of the safest counties in Tennessee. With the dangerous magnitude of a case such as this one and after an internal review of the investigative evidence, it complies with our Office policy to present it directly to the citizens on our Grand Jury when appropriate. The Grand Jury has returned an 8-Count indictment for Houge, and we will do everything within our power to hold him accountable for taking the life of a valued member of our community. We appreciate the dedicated effort of our law enforcement partners who have diligently worked around the clock on this investigation.”

-Frederick H. Agee, District Attorney General

The Honorable Judge Clayburn Peeples has ordered Houge be held without bond until he is arraigned in Circuit Court at the Crockett County Courthouse on Wednesday, August 26, at 11:00 a.m.

-Please note 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.

Defendant Gang Member to Serve 19 Years

On August 24, 2026, in the Circuit Court of Gibson County, and upon the request of District Attorney General Frederick Agee, defendant Jaquez Ross, 22, a known Hoover Crips gang member, was ordered by the Honorable Clayburn Peeples to serve 19 years in the Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) following a revocation hearing.

On September 11, 2023, in Gibson Circuit Court, Ross pleaded guilty to Attempted Second-Degree Murder and Aggravated Assault. Because of uncooperative witnesses, his age, and lack of criminal record, Ross was offered a 19-year plea agreement that allowed him to serve 24 months in jail. Upon expiration of the required jail time, Ross was placed under strict supervision with required recidivism reduction measures, such as maintaining lawful employment for the remainder of his 19-year sentence.

On April 17, 2025, Ross was criminally charged in Madison County. On July 9, 2026, Ross was convicted by a Madison County Jury of unlawful possession of a fi***rm by a convicted felon, possession of drug paraphernalia and theft of a fi***rm.

Because Ross acquired new charges and convictions while on probation, his TDOC sentence was revoked, and he must now serve the 19-year sentence from 2023.

“This was a case in which we did not want to agree to a plea, because Ross was a known gang member; however, a Prosecutor must be willing to give and take based on the facts, evidence, and witness cooperation. Ross caught a break in his case and had the opportunity to turn his life around but failed to take advantage of it. Now, he will serve out a 19-year TDOC sentence for Gibson County convictions, while also facing decades in prison for new convictions in Madison County.”

-Frederick H. Agee, District Attorney General

Defendant Revoked to Serve Ten-Year Sentence

GIBSON COUNTY, TN- On August 19, 2026, in the Circuit Court of Gibson County, Troy Sollis (61) was found to be in violation of his supervised probation sentence. After a revocation hearing, the Honorable Clayburn Peeples revoked the defendant’s probation and ordered him to serve his 10-year sentence in the Tennessee Department of Correction.

On September 7, 2023, Sollis pled guilty to Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Sell/Deliver and was given the opportunity for supervised probation with conditions to complete Moral Reconation classes, drug counseling, maintain employment, and drug-screening as recidivism reduction measures.

On December 26, 2025, Sollis was charged with Felony Evading Arrest with Risk to Others. His probation officer filed a Violation of Probation warrant based on his new arrest, as well as testing positive for Methamphetamine.

“In this case, supervised probation was intended to give Sollis, a 61-year-old defendant, a second chance to remain out of prison and be rehabilitated to correct the course of his life, but he failed to abide by the terms of his suspended sentence by accruing new criminal charges and continuing to use illegal drugs. He has spent most of his life in and out of jail and wasted the opportunity he was given and will now serve his sentence in TDOC custody.”

Elder Abuse Victim Receives Full Restitution

GIBSON COUNTY, TN- On July 27, 2026, in the Circuit Court of Gibson County, Thomas Coley pled guilty to Theft over $10,000 and received a sentence of seven months to serve in jail, with the balance of a five-year sentence suspended only upon payment of restitution in full. The defendant paid the full restitution of $39,600 on the day of his plea and due to his lack of criminal history, was placed on supervision with State Probation, with the additional conditions of completing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Classes and maintaining full-time employment.

On December 11, 2025, Coley was involved in a fraudulent scam that preyed on a 77-year-old victim in Milan. The perpetrators pretended to be employed by “Apple Security,” and claimed that “Apple Pay” mistakenly deposited $40,000 into her bank account when the amount should have been $400. They requested the victim withdraw $39, 600 in cash from her account to repay them. The defendant, who gave a false name, met with the victim and retrieved the cash. Once the victim realized the deposit was a fraudulent scam, she contacted law enforcement. Utilizing her residential security video recording and the Milan Police Department’s Flock cameras, the suspect vehicle was located and detained in Dunwoody, Georgia, in the possession of the defendant, who was positively identified by the victim.

“Unfortunately, there has been a proliferation of scammers who prey on elderly victims in our community vulnerable to intimidation by perpetrators who pressure them with false legal action if they don’t comply with their demands. Fortunately, in this case, thanks to the diligent work of the Milan Police Department in retrieving video evidence and tracking that information to another state, this defendant was successfully prosecuted and the victim made whole again financially. Our Office and our Courts ensured that the defendant was not released from incarceration until that happened.”

HAYWOOD COUNTY, TN- District Attorney General Attends Groundbreaking Ceremony

Our office was proud to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Haywood County High School. The new high school is scheduled to open in the fall of 2028 and will feature upgraded modern classrooms and athletic facilities. The location is just off I-40 at Exit 56 on Anderson Road.

“This was a great day for families with the groundbreaking of the new Haywood County High School. Congratulations to the local leaders who came together to invest in our children. Our office understands that if parents and our education system properly educate and train children to make them employable, they are more likely to be productive members of the community and less likely to be a burden on taxpayers through the expensive and costly criminal justice system. We believe this new facility will assist the students in achieving their goals and dreams for the future.”
