Kelly FoutchKelly Foutch made a bid in 2010 to be mayor of Grundy County, Tenn.
On Wednesday, the 46-year-old Monteagle resident was cited for resisting arrest by the sheriff’s office as deputies took him into custody for being part of a trio accused of conspiring to forge a man’s will.
“Once we get in court, this will all go away,” Foutch predicted Thursday. “The truth will set you free, every time.”
Foutch will appear in Grundy County Superior Court on March 22 to answer to charges of criminal conspiracy to commit theft in excess of $250,000 along with Labreeska Meeks, 34, of Gruetli-Laager, Tenn., and James E. Campbell II, 47, of Tracy City, Tenn. Campbell also faces forgery charges.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in January started investigating a claim that the younger Campbell signed a forged copy of the will of his father, James E. Campbell Sr., with Foutch and Meeks as witnesses.
