Former Montgomery County Workhouse corporal Theodore Morey indicted on drug charges

Montgomery County, TN – A former corporal with the Montgomery County Workhouse has been indicted by the grand jury on drug charges and as in custody, to be booked into the Montgomery County Jail today.

Theodore Martin Morey, 35, who gave a Colby Cove address, will be booked on the charge of receipt of a counterfeit controlled substance. His bond will be set at $2,500.

The 19th Judicial District Drug Task Force completed a weeks-long investigation before turning information over to the District Attorney’s Office for grand jury presentment, just as it would be for any other criminal defendant.

At the beginning of the investigation, Morey was placed on leave. His employment was terminated on November 17th, 2014 when his actions were found to violate the law and MCSO policy.

“This investigation had to run its course before we could make any information known, just like any other investigation,” said Montgomery County Sheriff John Fuson. “The fact that Morey worked for the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office had no bearing on the job that the 19th Judicial Drug Task Force had to do. Morey made a poor decision, and now he has to face the consequences of that decision.”
