CLEVELAND – The White County Grand Jury handed down several indictments against a man police say was involved in a crime that led to another man’s death.
Jurors indicted Jeremy Black for involuntary manslaughter. They also indicted him on charges of criminal trespass, criminal attempts to commit a misdemeanor, and possession of tools for the commission of a crime.
According to the White County Sheriff’s Office, Black was present on the morning of June 27 when officers were dispatched to a business at 109 Becky Drive in Cleveland. There, officers found 48-year-old Bruce Jeffery Reaves of Mableton under a vehicle.
White County Sheriff’s Capt. Clay Hammond said at the time that investigators believe Reeves was cutting the vehicle’s exhaust when the vehicle fell. Reeves died of his injuries.
