Retaliation for past actions got a Cannon County man in all kinds of trouble recently. According to sheriff’s department reports, deputy Eric Moss was dispatched to a residence on Red Hill Road for a break in. Upon arrival, he spoke with the victim, Ms. Lori Wilder who stated that when she got home she noticed some money missing in the amount of $300, also taken were some clothes, gift cards, video tapes and a lawn mower. Ms. Wilder was in the process of moving residences and a Ms. Tequlla Miller was helping in the move. Ms. Wilder she that she had given Ms. Miller a few things and left them on the porch in a box. Ms. Wilder also stated that Ms. Miller knew where the spare key to the house was at. When Ms. Wilder returned home, she noticed the box was gone and no damage to the house had been done which probably meant that the key was used to gain entrance to the house. The next day Deputy Moss went to Ms. Miller’s residence on Hayes Street. Deputy Moss noticed a push mower on the back porch that matched the description of the stolen mower. After questioning Ms. Miller and her boyfriend Clayton Adams, they explained they found the mower in the bushes behind their house. Later after identifying the stolen mower, police went back to Miller’s residence and charged both Miller and Adams with theft and simple possession of a schedule 4 drug as they also found Xanax in the home without a prescription. While Mr. Adams was being processed at the Cannon County jail, he allegedly threatened Deputy Moss saying that he was going to burn his house and vehicles and physically assault the deputy if he caught him while off duty.
