Man jailed after running out of the woods

A Harriman man is facing multiple charges after law enforcement responded to a call Friday of a suspicious person on Oren White Road.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Patrick Upton and three other deputies spoke with a woman who said she was driving with her granddaughter when a man in black pants and a black jacket “came running out of the woods and asked her for a ride and yelled for her to call the cops.”

After she dialed 911, the woman came back to Oren White Road and Christopher Paul Bingham, 48, “chased her down her driveway and followed her to her grandson’s residence.”

“(The woman) locked herself in the residence and stated she was in fear for her life,” Upton wrote in a report. “The grandson ... armed himself with a gun because he was in fear for his life and the safety of his grandmother. Both victims stated that Mr. Bingham attempted to gain access into the residence by trying to open the back door and then came to the front door and attempted to open it as well. Mr. Bingham also grabbed a piece of wood with metal off the porch and was holding it like a weapon while he was pacing back and forth talking to himself.”

Deputy Kevin Kirkland told Bingham “to put his hands in the air and put him into custody without incident.”

Bingham did not know the woman. He claimed to be “running from someone and was told his kids were in the woods dead.” His children were located at work.

Bingham was charged with aggravated assault and attempted burglary and held on $45,000 bond.

Man hits store manager

Joshua Todd Webb, 43, Crossville, attempted to take a chainsaw from a Lenoir City business Thursday and drove his vehicle into the assistant manager during the getaway.

LCSO Deputy Shane Gaumer spoke with the assistant manager who said Webb “pulled into the side lot area and the driver entered the rear of the store closed off (to) the general public.”

Webb took a Stihl electric chainsaw off a shelf and ran back to his car. The assistant manager then followed Webb to his car where he “was able to gain possession of the stolen property.” He was still standing in front of the vehicle when Webb “accelerated, striking the victim, throwing him onto the hood of the vehicle, then turning right onto Shipley Lane throwing the victim from the vehicle.”

Gaumer watched the incident recorded by the store’s cameras. The driver was identified as Webb through a driver’s license photo of the car’s registered owner.

“Approximately three hours later Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office located the above vehicle and offender,” Gaumer wrote in a report. “A photo ... positively identified Joshua Webb as the person driving the vehicle that struck him and burglarized the store.”

Webb was charged with aggravated assault, burglary and theft of property and held on $32,000 bond.
