The Trousdale County Grand Jury met earlier this week and returned indictments for crimes occurring at Trousdale Turner Correctional Center. The Grand Jury returned forty-one total indictments relating to the prison. Twelve of these indictments were in connection with the riot occurring on June 8, 2025.
“These are only the first round of indictments relating to the riot occurring on June 8, 2025, and was really all of the cases that could be prepared in the short-time of one week,” said Lawson. “Investigators continue to review footage and identify those involved, and I expect many more indictments to be forthcoming at future sessions of the Grand Jury,” explained Lawson. “The indictments returned do include the key leadership group responsible for the riot,” added Lawson.
Of the twelve indicted for offenses relating to the riot, each received multiple charges. Some of the charges included were Aggravated Riot, Inciting a Riot, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Aggravated Kidnapping, Vandalism, and Contraband in a Penal Institution.
“Aggravated Riot is a charge that involves participation in a riot, while inciting a riot involves those who have promoted or caused a riot to occur,” said Jason Lawson, District Attorney. “Aggravated Assault involves threating to harm someone with a weapon, which can be a homemade weapon or any article that is used as a weapon,” said Lawson. “Robbery is when something is taken from a person by force or threatening violence, and can include things such as keys, radios, or pepper spray. Aggravated Kidnapping is when a weapon is used by a person or by a group of people working to together to force someone against their will to either be trapped or restrained or moved to a different location,” Lawson explained. “Vandalism is obviously the destruction of property, and Contraband in a Penal Institution is possession of a prohibited item, such as any weapon, while inside of a place where prisoners are kept.”
As the inmates indicted have not yet been served with a copy of their charges, their names have not been released at this time.
Other charges indicted by the Grand Jury which were not related to the June 8 riot include other charges of Contraband in a Penal Institution relating to drugs or weapons, Attempted Murder, Aggravated Assault, Vandalism, Indecent Exposure by inmates to prison staff. Of the forty-one cases indicted, one indictment charged a staff member for introducing drugs into a penal facility and for official misconduct.
