An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment of a Mooresburg man accused of filing false reports against a Bean Station detective.

In November, at the request of Third Judicial District Attorney General Dan Armstrong, TBI agents began investigating allegations of harassment after Kevin Holliman, Jr., 24, filed two separate police reports claiming he was receiving threatening text messages from a detective with the Bean Station Police Department.

During the course of the investigation, agents developed information indicating the allegations were false and that Holliman had created a TextNow account and sent the messages to himself to make it appear they originated from the detective.

On Monday, April 13, the Hawkins County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Holliman with two counts of False Reports and two counts of Tampering with Evidence. Wednesday with the assistance of the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office, Holliman was arrested and booked into the Hawkins County Jail on a $20,000 bond.
