Claiborne Progress

John Boyd Collett is on the run from authorities in connection to an especially aggravated robbery that occurred Tuesday night.

The man who was found not guilty in the 2008 death of a Claiborne County man will appear in court on Thursday, July 1, this time on the charge of especially aggravated robbery.

On Tuesday night, June 22, a call was made to Claiborne County 911 advising that Allen Myers of the 500 block of Arthur Road had been attacked with a shovel to the head.

Several items that belonged to Myers were missing including his wallet and his payroll check.

Captain David Honeycutt and Detective Anthony Veillon along with officers of the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Office arrived to investigate the scene.

After gathering evidence and taking statements, the officers began a search for Ronnie Carroll and John Boyd Collett, both residents of Claiborne County.

Myers was flown immediately from Claiborne County to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. According to the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Office, he is now home and is in stable condition.

Ronnie Carroll turned himself into authorities Wednesday afternoon. He is currently being held in the Claiborne County Jail with no bond and will appear in court on Thursday, July 1.

After two days of searching, John Boyd Collett surrendered to authorities on Thursday, June 24.

He was booked into the Claiborne County Jail on the charge of especially aggravated robbery. He was given a $100,000 bond.

Collett posted bond and was booked out on Friday, June 25.

He is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday, July 1.

keep the doors locked, and everything else, people like this should not even be let go , he should have been sent to prison for what he did to bruce greer, BUT if they sent people like this off, the public defenders and low life lawyers wouldnt have anyway to make money, but he killed one of thier family members it would be a diffrent story, they would have got life for something like that........its always been like this and always will around this town, If you dont have the last name......you dont have nothing, bunch of crooked people in the court house and jail , they dont care about us regular folks, they just care about thier jobs, although thier jobs is to protect and serve...HA....most the time they dont do that.....

Now why does this not surprise me?

The man got off scott free for murdering Bruce Greer,and look what has happened.

AS long as people get away with crime,they will do it again.

Thanks to this crooked County,our families are at risk.

Lock them doors,keep your children inside until this perp is caught.

If they would have convicted him the first time he MURDERED Bruce Greer , then they wouldnt be looking for him again, this is classic claiborne county justice for you, you kill someone, you get slapped on the wrist, you kill a deer from the roadside , you get more time for that than the murder of a man, this is so sad that this so called man has killed another person, and the bad thing is it could be a very long time, and he could kill another, this man does not and did not deserve to be let go the first time, hope the DA or whoever defended him feels so good that they got this man off for murder, HAHAHAHA....guess what he did it again.......he need to be put in prison , and never to see the light of day again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is nothing but a P.O.S
