Welcome to Arrest Stories. A Crossville woman faces multiple charges including motor vehicle theft and reckless endangerment following a hospital incident and alleged car theft with a child inside. Here's what may have happened.
On January seventeenth, twenty twenty-six, Kristy Leigh Jaynes was arrested in Crossville, Tennessee, facing charges of motor vehicle theft, two counts of reckless endangerment, vandalism, and evading arrest.
The incident began at Cumberland Medical Center where Jaynes allegedly caused vandalism inside the hospital facility. Hospital staff discharged Jaynes and escorted her out of the building after she refused to leave the premises. However, Jaynes re-entered the hospital building despite being removed by staff.
Once back inside, Jaynes pulled two fire alarm pull stations, breaking the handle on one of them during the process. While activating the fire alarms, Jaynes cut herself and left blood smears on the walls throughout the hospital. She also knocked a picture frame off the wall, adding to the vandalism charges.
The Crossville Fire Department responded to the activated fire alarms at the medical center. The false alarm response diverted emergency resources from potential legitimate emergencies in the community.
Following the hospital incident, Jaynes allegedly stole a motor vehicle that had a child inside. This action led to the motor vehicle theft charge and contributed to the two counts of reckless endangerment she now faces. The presence of the child in the stolen vehicle elevated the severity of the charges against Jaynes.
Law enforcement pursued Jaynes after the alleged vehicle theft, resulting in an additional charge of evading arrest. The chase concluded with Jaynes being taken into custody in Crossville on the same day as the hospital incident.
The charges against Jaynes span from the initial vandalism at the medical facility to the subsequent alleged vehicle theft involving a minor. The timeline of events occurred entirely on January seventeenth, twenty twenty-six, in Crossville, Tennessee.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
