OLIVER SPRINGS, Tenn. — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will take over the probe into a home burglary in which the daughter of Oliver Springs Police Chief Kenneth Morgan and her female accomplice were arrested, District Attorney General Russell Johnson said Thursday.
Johnson said the police chief asked him to put the TBI on the case involving his daughter so the police department would no longer be involved.
Caitlin Joanna Morgan, 20, of Oliver Springs and Casey Danielle Gulley, no age or address available, were arrested at the scene Tuesday evening, records show.
Gulley’s 3-year-old daughter was with the women at the time, according to an arrest warrant filed against Caitlin Morgan.
Police were responding to a 6:28 p.m. call of a burglary in progress at 1115 Lookout Ave., and Caitlin Morgan lives at 1104 Lookout Ave., according to the burglary warrant.
The women had handed Gulley’s daughter out a window of the residence while trying to escape police, the warrant states.
Several items and clothing from the residence had been “packaged up in clothes baskets and a suitcase for transport to steal,” the warrant states.
