Violent domestic results in indictment

CROSSVILLE — The man arrested in May and accused of a violent domestic assault, during which a family pet was stabbed to death, has been indicted by the Cumberland County Grand Jury on three charges.

Bryan Benjamin Crabtree, 40, Mackie Rd., Crab Orchard, is to appear in Criminal Court later this month to answer charges of aggravated domestic assault with a deadly weapon, alternate theory of aggravated assault (strangulation), unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated cruelty to animals.
