(SULLIVAN COUNTY) – A Bluff City man and his brother face new charges…after officials say they sold weapons from a homicide victim’s residence.
James Fagans, 62, and his brother, Jimmie Fagans, 59, have each been charged with one count of money laundering and one count of tampering with evidence. In 2018, at the request of Sullivan County District Attorney General, TBI agents began investigating the death of Herman Rumley, shortly after his body was discovered inside his house on Woods Road in Bluff City.
During the course of the investigation, agents developed information leading to James Fagans, as the person responsible for Rumley’s death.
