Loudon County Sheriff’s Office investigators said more
charges could come for a 64-year-old man accused of raping a
5-year-old girl earlier this month, and investigators fear
other girls could be involved.
Jack Curtis Holt of Lenoir City was found in possession of
several pictures of young girls posed in sexual positions
after a 5-year-old said Holt had touched her sexually.
Inv. Sgt. Jeff Russell wrote in his report that the girl
stated that Holt “would tell her not to say anything
because it was a secret” and the incidents occurred on
several occasions.
“Mr. Jack Holt did give written consent for a search of
his property and of any electronic devices and their
content. With this consent several pictures were found
of other young girls and (the 5-year-old),” Russell
said, adding that two pictures taken April 17 contained
pictures of the girl sitting at Holt’s house in
dress-type clothing “and her legs spread while he took
the picture.”
Holt was charged with rape of a child and held on
$100,000 bond.
Man found with meth
Noticing a woman who appeared fidgety and nervous while
“constantly” scanning the parking lot of a gas station
in Philadelphia, Ninth Judicial Drug Task Force Agent
Brendan DeBoer wrote in his report that he saw the
woman, who was standing at the driver’s window of a
truck, pass an item from her pocket to the driver, who
tried to conceal the item in his pocket when law
enforcement approached.
The driver was identified as Dean Solon Matthews, 43, of
Lenoir City.
“I asked the male what he was trying to hide and he
responded ‘ICE,’ which I knew to be crystal
methamphetamine,” DeBoer said, identifying the male
driver as Matthews. “Mr. Matthews stated that he had two
containers in his pocket that contained ICE.”
DeBoer said the containers contained numerous bags of a
substance believed to be crystal methamphetamine. “These
drugs were packaged in different weight amounts for
resale and this location is within 1,000 feet of a
school,” DeBoer said.
The female was not identified in the report.
Matthews was charged with
manufacture/sell/delivery/resale of a Schedule II
