JACKSBORO, Tenn. — A former LaFollette police officer faces charges of raping a woman at gunpoint during a traffic stop. A Campbell County grand jury indicted Jeremy S. Cross last week on charges of aggravated rape, official oppression and two counts of official misconduct. The charges stem from July 5, when Cross would have been on duty, said Mike Ripley, an assistant district attorney general. He wouldn’t give any other details about the case. “These are the charges, and that’s all I can say,” Ripley said. Cross resigned after the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation began looking into the case in July. He could make his first court appearance Sept. 8. More details as they develop online and in Thursday’s News Sentinel.
