Sheriff's Report: Burglary Ring Arrested, Deputies of the Month Named
This interview was recorded at the Henderson County Justice Center on Wednesday, Oct. 12, with Sheriff Botie Hillhouse and Michael V. Hannigan.

It’s been almost a month since our last Sheriff’s Report.
“It’s been pushing a lot of paper, doing a lot of administrative stuff,” said Sheriff Hillhouse.
But we’re back because the Sheriff’s Office recently broke up a burglary ring and the Deputies of the Quarter were announced. The Sheriff also talks about the HELP Center and Maggie’s House Child Advocacy Center breaking ground on the new Legacy Center.
I. Stats (:52)
There are currently 419 currently in the jail with 78 of those being contract inmates. The average for the year is 444.
“It is a slower season and our jail count is going down a hair,” said Sheriff Hillhouse.
II. Burglary Ring (2:22)
On Oct. 5, Henderson County Sheriff's Office Investigators executed two search Warrants at 106 Anglin Street as well as 119 Thunderbird Drive in the city of Athens in reference to string of Burglaries that have occured inside Henderson County.
The evidence collected dury the investigation enabled investigators to recover thousands of dollars of stolen Items. The following suspects were arrested at the time of the search warrant for outstanding warrants as well as on site drug charges: Darrell Joe Riggins, Jesse James Green, Brian Ascencion Geddie, Wendy Peele, Jami Nicole Branch Woods, and Ryan David Woods.
On Oct. 7, 12 additional warrants were issued in reference to results of the search warrant and more to follow.
“They’ve just got tons of recovered stolen property in the office that they’re trying to sort through now and get back to the rightful owners,” Sheriff Hillhouse said.
III. Legacy Center Groundbreaking (4:33)
The Henderson County HELP Center and Maggie's House Child Advocacy Center celebrated a groundbreaking Sept. 28 to mark the start of construction on a new facility.
The Legacy Center will be a 4,000 square-foot facility and will be adjacent to the HELP Center on North Palestine Street. The Legacy Center will be used as a local, regional and statewide training facility for the HELP Centers and Maggie's House Multi-Disciplinary Team and will house the Center's the boardroom.
The HELP Center and Maggie's House have seen a significant increase in cases in recent years, including a 30 percent increase last year and the year before. That increase is driving the need for additional services for the child victims they serve, which means more staff and room for those staff and services.
In addition to the additional staff, Henderson County is initiating a Crimes Against Children Task Force, which will include Henderson County Sheriff's Office deputies being embedded at the HELP Center. Those deputies will be dedicated to working child abuse cases across the county.
“Our relationships are getting stronger,” said Sheriff Hillhouse. “The cases that come in, we’re going to be able to take care of them faster, better, and get the results we need to take care of our citizens and our kids the best we can in a quicker fashion.”
IV. Deputies of the Quarter (8:30)
Wednesday, Sheriff Hillhouse presented Deputy of the Quarter to three employees. Deputy Cliff Arnold was named Deputy of the 3rd Quarter, Deputy Kelly Bailey was named Detention Officer of the 3rd Quarter, and Communications Officer Madison Grubbs was named Communications Officer of the 3rd Quarter. Help us congratulate them for their outstanding service to Henderson County!
