JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF) – An investigation by Special Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment and arrest of a former Campbell County school nurse.

Sherry Lancaster is free tonight on a $10,000 bond.

On Wednesday, the Campbell County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Lancaster with six counts of Obtaining Drugs by Fraud and five counts of Theft. Today, she was arrested and booked into the Campbell County Jail on a $10,000 bond.

Officials at the Campbell County Jail report that Lancaster made bail around 10 pm Friday night.  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 09/04/2020-11:30PM)
