Former officer Lloyd receives additional criminal charge

By SUSAN SHARP

JACKSBORO, TN. (WLAF)-  Isaiah Lloyd is facing an additional charge after the grand jury convened this month. He had already been indicted for misconduct and coercing/ influencing a witness in April.

Following this session of the grand jury, he now faces aggravated assault- use or display of a deadly weapon. Officials opted to represent the case to a grand jury on July 15 asking for it to consider the aggravated assault charge. After being indicted on that charge, Lloyd was arrested again and is free on his original bond from the April case.

All of the charges stem from a January 2024 incident, according to court records.

In early 2024, Lloyd allegedly went to the victim’s home wearing a hooded shirt in hopes of concealing his identity. Lloyd allegedly vandalized a vehicle and moved around the property, with his face covered until he was confronted by the victim, according to court records.

When he was confronted by the victim, he allegedly threw an “explosive device.”  The victim called 911, reporting the crime and blamed another LaFollette Police Officer, records said.  The victim used social media to repeatedly blame the other officer. The victim repeatedly and freely used the name of the wrong man, while Lloyd “took advantage of the misplaced blame to continue to conceal his identity,” the indictment said.

Nearly a year later, Lloyd found himself caught between two women. One being his spouse and the other was another police officer. The two women had an altercation. Lloyd told the other officer she couldn’t press charges against his wife, because she would reveal his crimes from January 2024. The other officer would be named as an accomplice because she had knowledge of the crimes, Lloyd allegedly told her. He went on to say the allegation would ruin her career and she could face criminal charges, court records said. A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation stepped in with the officer disclosing her relationship with Lloyd and his admission of the crimes from January 2024.

Lloyd was working under the assumption the statute of limitations was 11 months and 29 days. For a year, he kept his identity concealed . At the end of January 2025, Lloyd admitted his crimes to a “confidential source,” the indictment said.  A few days later the confidential source told the TBI of Lloyd’s admission. That restarted the statute of limitations for a two year period. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED 7/29/2026-6AM)
