White County Sheriff’s Office investigators have arrested Christopher James Crocker in connection with burglaries at White County High School and Tesnatee Gap Elementary School.
On February 23, 2025, at approximately 1:00 a.m., a suspect dressed in camouflage clothing, gloves, and a black mask broke into the White County High School Sports Complex concession stand. The suspect then proceeded to Tesnatee Gap Elementary School, where he unlawfully entered the cafeteria office and stole approximately $30.
