CROSSVILLE — A Cumberland County man on probation for two years after being convicted of theft of more than $1,000 had his probation revoked following a hearing in Criminal Court and was ordered to serve the balance of his sentence.

Timothy Richard Forster, 37, whose last known address was listed on Big Horn Dr., pleaded guilty last September to theft of more than $1,000 relating to the theft of two boat motors, a tiller, wood chipper, battery and tool box belonging to a Nocatee Trace man.

He was placed on two-year's probation and was ordered to pay $2,640 restitution to the victim.

During a probation revocation hearing, however, state Probation Officer Danny Williams testified that Forster had made no payments toward court costs or restitution in five months, and had picked up a new charge of domestic assault.

Last month Lake Tansi Security Officer Marty McCoy testified that on Feb. 18, he was dispatched to Forster's Big Horn Dr. address on a report of a domestic situation that may have turned violent.

When he arrived on the scene, he observed Forster holding a box cutter. He ordered Forster to drop the utility knife, but instead, Forster placed it to his throat. When Forster's wife lunged at the hand holding the knife, she was cut on the hand.

Forster was disarmed when he was maced and tackled and placed under arrest and has been held in custody since that day.

Forster testified that the call to police concerning the domestic dispute was his neighbor's fault, calling her a "busy body" who stuck her nose in his business. He said he was threatening suicide with the box cutter because he was on federal probation because of 2009 drug conspiracy case.

Defense attorney Matthew Edwards argued that 90 days in jail should be sufficient for a first violation of probation.

Judge Leon Burns disagreed, calling the domestic assault charge "pretty serious." He then ordered Forster's probation revoked and ordered him to serve the balance of his sentence.
