CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A Hamilton County Grand Jury has indicted Chattanooga businessman Rick Davis on theft charges.

The indictment, which our newsroom obtained on Friday, lists 6 separate counts against Davis, alleging crimes that happened between December 2023 and May 2024.

The indictment says Davis...

..unlawfully and knowingly obtain[ed] or exercise[d] control of property.. without the owner's effective consent and with the owner's effective consent and with the intent to deprive the owner of said property.

Two of the counts list the values of that property as between $2,500 and $10,000. The other four list values between $10,000 and $60,000.

For years, Davis operated a high-profile jewelry store, and his Facebook page says he "spent his entire life buying, selling, and trading in gold, silver, diamonds and coins."

We spoke with some of those affected. 2 alleged victims told us they aren’t sure why this has happened, but that it’s hurt their families in the meantime.

Jesse Darwin is one of the names you’ll find on the indictment. His wife Susan tells us...

"We’re qualifying him for a liver transplant that's coming up next week. It's part of the process we're in and he's at home right now so sick, so I’m here to represent him.”

While dealing with his health, Jesse and his wife Susan brought two buckets of silver she received from her father as inheritance to Davis' business.

"For this man to take that away from our family was unconscionable.”

The Darwins went to Davis for a quote.

"My husband and I both disagreed with the amount, and we said, 'no, just give us our silver back.' And he said, 'well, I can't, it's gone.'”

Now, they’ve begun using a GoFundMe to raise the $32,000 Susan says they lost.

"I'll file a report, it will be a fraud report."

For Gary and Cindy Keck...

"Had we looked at the reviews, we definitely never would’ve went."

They couldn’t seem to get any gold from Davis after giving him $50,000.

"We decided to buy some bullion and diversify some cash into gold," Gary says.

But since giving him that money in July, Cindy says...

"We haven't received one piece of gold, or a penny. So, at this point, we’re just going the legal route.”

We spoke to Davis on the phone early Friday afternoon. He told us that “no one would be hurt”, and that this should have been a civil matter. He says it will be resolved.

We are working to learn more about the charges, and this story will be updated.

Depend on us to keep you posted.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Shortly after the devastation of Hurricane Helene, President Biden approved federal disaster assistance for impacted communities.

There is no set time on when aid will be approved, and a Chattanooga organization says they've been waiting years to receive federal assistance from a previous storm.

Grace Baptist Academy, a private Christian school and church in East Brainerd, was destroyed in 2020 after tornadoes ripped through Hamilton County.

Initially, when the church applied for aid, a glitch in the FEMA system put construction on pause.

A while after, they were approved for a $30 million grant. But Matthew Pallock, head of the organization, said that amount was not enough.

The church then submitted an appeal and was approved for more than they were previously.

While construction work has begun, there is still work to be done for the church.

"There's no substitute for local unity and involvement in just getting out there and doing what they have to do."

According to residents like Dave Smith, construction work at Grace Baptist has been a long time coming.

Minimal construction has finally begun for Grace Baptist Church after 4 long years of waiting.

Now, Grace Baptist officials tell us the grant that was approved by FEMA is still being processed.

That's despite being four years removed from the tornado that hit them in 2020.

"We go by there all the time and see the church and wonder, you know, why the construction has stopped, and really didn't know why," Smith say.

Leaving residents like Smith at a loss.

"It's really quite upsetting, because that church, you know, is really an important part of the community."

According to FEMA, in the event of such disasters like the tornado that hit Grace Baptist church and Helene, anyone who “had uninsured damage or losses caused by topical storm Helene may be eligible for FEMA disaster assistance.”

They also say “FEMA may be able to help with serious needs, displacement ,temporary lodging.”

"It was pretty devastating, but now, you just do the best you can, and, you know, not get too panicked about it."

Greg Boyle lives by Grace Baptist and remembers first hand how devastating the tornado the destroyed his local church was.

"We got our dogs and hunkered down underneath the stairs, underneath the closet. And when three minutes came, the tornado hit and I could hear trees coming through the windows," Boyle says.

According to church officials, the grant they are expected to receive will be in the millions.

Despite the potential funds, Smith says they just don’t know when they’ll see that money.

"Hoping that funding will come, but it's going to take a lot of patience, you know, to get back to where they were."

According to church officials, FEMA has given them no timeline as to when they can expect their grant to be processed.

FridayFEMA launched a rumor response page and Hurricane Helene web page to provide accurate information, keep people aware of rumors and scams, and explain the federal disaster assistance programs and processes.

After TVA was forced to rapidly raise the water level in the Tennessee River due to flooding upstream, the Chattanooga Fire Department assisted the Chattanooga Audubon Society in an emergency evacuation of the organization's goats from Maclellan Island.

The Audubon Society brought the goats to the island this summer to help eliminate an overgrowth of invasive plants. Moving them off the island became necessary Monday after the federal utility had to raise the water level.

"I would like to thank the Chattanooga Fire Department for once again helping us out," Chattanooga Audubon Society Executive Director Jim Stewart said in a text message, adding that the department also assisted the organization with controlled burns of overgrowth at Audubon Acres and Maclellan Island.

When the Maclellan Island burn failed, the Audubon Society then turned to goats and their insatiable appetites to address the unwanted plants. The goats have been munching away at the overgrowth since June, when the herd of six goats and their guard dog — a Great Pyrenees named Beo (short for Beowulf) — were transported by boat to the island.

"My first priority is safety, not only for the animals but for the humans who take care of them," said Circle N Stables owner Christine Herndon, who acquired the goats for the Audubon Society and helps care for them on the island.

As soon as she knew heavy rains and flooding from Hurricane Helene posed a potential threat to the goats, she got in contact with TVA officials, who were constantly monitoring the water levels in the Tennessee River, Herndon said in a phone interview.

Since the strength of the river's current prevented her from safely transporting the goats from the island on her boat, Herndon reached out to the Chattanooga Fire Department for assistance with the evacuation. Firefighters gave Herndon and the Audubon Society a six-hour window in which firefighters could safely take the goats across the quickly rising, fast-moving water in one of the department's boats, she said.

The organization, which brought the goats to the island to help eliminate an overgrowth of invasive plants, had to evacuate the goats when the river's water level rose due to flooding upstream caused by heavy rains from Hurricane Helene.

Over the next few hours, Herndon said the water level rose by at least a foot, entirely submerging the metal dock on the island.

The rescued goats were transported to the River Maze in Benton, Tennessee, where they have a "playground" that includes a wooden ramp they love to run up and down, she said.

"They're kind of on vacation," Herndon said of the goats, who along with Beo will stay in Benton over the next few weeks, or possibly months, before getting back to their job on the island.

Before the evacuation, the goats had chomped through about 5-6 acres of overgrowth on the 20-acre island, Jessica Whitehorn, Chattanooga Audubon Society education director, said by phone.

Their work will continue for as long as the Audubon Society is able to fund their care, which comes at a cost of around $2,000 a month. Funding for the project initially came from grants from the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga and the Maclellan Foundation as well as individual donors, but it's now funded solely by donations, Whitehorn said.

People can visit the goats at the River Maze, where they can also make a donation to help cover the cost of the goats' care and prolong their work on Maclellan Island, Herndon said.
