Woman arrested on two home invasion charges

ELIZABETHTON — Carter County Sheriff’s Department deputies arrested a woman Monday following an investigation of home invasion complaints at a residence on Newton Road. Last Thursday, deputies responded to a burglary in progress call at the residence. When the deputies arrived, they were told by the victim that the burglar had already left the area. The homeowner told deputies she heard someone in the home. She said she searched the house and discovered a tall person hiding in a closet. The suspect then pushed their way out of the closet and ran out of the residence. Based on evidence developed during the investigation, deputies identified 30-year-old Karen Ashley Berry as a suspect. The investigators began conducting surveillance to find Berry and on Monday, she was arrested at her residence on Big Sandy Road.

Former Unaka High School teacher pleads guilty on theft, attempted forgery charges

ELIZABETHTON — Jean-Claude Eric Hardin, 42, a former teacher with the Carter County School System, entered guilty pleas in Criminal Court last week on charges of theft and forgery on incidents involving funds from Unaka High School’s meat processing program, where customers brought livestock to the school to be slaughtered by students. The customers paid a fee for this service. When cash shortages in the program were discovered by school officials, an investigation began with the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office and the Carter County Sheriff’s Department. In July 2019, Hardin was indicted by a Carter County grand jury on one count of theft over $1,000, six counts of forgery, and one count of official misconduct.
