From WRIL - The Big One -

On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, in the Criminal Court for Claiborne County, Tennessee Judge Zachary R. Walden sentenced Robert Lee Harris, of New Tazewell, to twenty (20) years in the custody of the Tennessee Department of Correction. This sentence must be served at one hundred percent (100%) and is the result of Harris’ previous convictions by a Claiborne County Jury for Carjacking, Aggravated Assault, and Especially Aggravated Kidnapping.


As we previously reported - Wednesday, January 25, 2023, a carjacking incident took place in New Tazewell.  Claiborne County Detective Rocky White, determined through victim statements that Harris displayed a firearm claiming he would kill the victim, putting the man in fear for his life. It was also determined that Harris fired the gun into the ground close to the man.


Harris was also accused of forcing the victim's hand to be restrained at gunpoint with the use of zip ties and took pictures of the man. The victim stated that Harris cut him loose leading him at gunpoint to a utility pole where he was once again restrained with zip ties.  He was then forced to remove all his clothing, and Harris took more pictures of him with his cellphone.


Harris finally walked away, and the victim was able to break free from the restraints running to safety where he called 911 from a neighboring residence.  Robert Lee Harris was later arrested.


On Thursday, September 25, 2025, after a two day jury trial, a Claiborne County Jury found Harris guilty of aggravated assault, carjacking, and especially aggravated kidnapping.


This case was investigated by the Claiborne County Sheriff’s Office, specifically former Lt. Rocky White (now Special Agent with the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security), Lt. Eric Fraley, and Detective Niki McGeorge. At sentencing, the State was represented by Assistant District Attorneys General Courtney Rickert and Graham E. Wilson.

Η πρώτη μου επαφή με το SevenPlay ήταν μάλλον από περιέργεια, αφού πρόκειται για μια σχετικά νέα πλατφόρμα. Η πλοήγηση μου φάνηκε απλή και καθαρή, χωρίς υπερβολές που κουράζουν. Αυτό που ξεχώρισα ήταν η ποικιλία στα παιχνίδια και το γεγονός ότι όλα λειτουργούν ομαλά τόσο σε υπολογιστή όσο και σε κινητό. Δεν ένιωσα πίεση ή βιασύνη, κάτι που εκτιμώ ιδιαίτερα. Διαβάζοντας περισσότερα για το casino του SevenPlay στο http://tychebets.gr/kritikes/sevenplay-casino είδα πως η συνολική φιλοσοφία του ταιριάζει σε όσους θέλουν μια πιο ισορροπημένη εμπειρία. Γενικά, η αίσθηση που μου άφησε είναι θετική και χωρίς «θόρυβο», κάτι σπάνιο για αντίστοιχες πλατφόρμες.

Мені дуже подобається, що на Cardmates можна знайти практично все про сучасні ігрові платформи та навчальні матеріали для новачків. Особливо корисно, що є огляди різних майданчиків та пояснення правил у простому форматі. До того ж, я нещодавно натрапив на https://cardmates.ua/casinos/privat-24 приват казино – там добре пояснено, як працюють сервіси, і все подано доступно для тих, хто тільки починає знайомство. Дуже ціную, що спільнота активна і завжди готова допомогти порадою. Читати такі огляди та навчальні матеріали – справді цікаво і корисно для тих, хто хоче розібратися детально, не витрачаючи час на хаотичний пошук інформації.
