A Sweetwater woman has been arrested on murder charges, accused of killing Monroe County Election Commission Chairman Jim Miller last summer.
Jessica Kennedy Powers, 27, of Sweetwater, Tenn., was indicted by the Monroe County grand jury on one count each of felony murder, aggravated robbery, arson of personal property and abuse of a corpse.
The body of Miller, 60, was found on Sands Road in Monroe County on July 17. He had been shot to death before his body was set on fire in his vehicle.
Kennedy Powers was served with the indictment in the Meigs County Jail, where she was being held on unrelated charges. She has been transferred to the Monroe County Jail, where her bond was set at $500,000.
