Sevier County Sheriff: Suspects Fired Multiple Shots into Kodak Residence

The Sevier County Sheriff’s Office says two men face felony charges after they allegedly fired multiple shots into a Kodak residence on Monday.

Officers responded to a home on Mutton Hollow Road in Kodak about 11:45 a.m. on Monday, February 10, 2020 after receiving reports of someone firing shots into a residence.

Officers found multiple bullet holes in the front of the home.

During an investigation, Sevier County Sheriff’s detectives obtained names of potential suspects, along with a vehicle description, and alerted surrounding law enforcement agencies. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office later stopped a vehicle matching the description on Hwy 25/U.S. 70 and took the two suspects into custody. Sevier County detectives responded to the traffic stop and found additional evidence in the vehicle.

James Allen Smith, 18, of 749 Emerald Ave. in Kodak, and 22-year-old Brandon Brumley, of 2234 Bryan Rd. in Kodak, were booked into the Sevier County Jail and charged with Reckless Endangerment, Aggravated Assault and Felony Vandalism. Smith is being held in lieu of $25,000 bond and Brumley has bond set at $10,000. Both have a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 11.

The residents were not home at the time Smith and Brumley allegedly fired the shots.

The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at (865) 428-1899.

All persons are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
