Robbery suspects indicted
A Jefferson County Grand Jury met this week and considered the charges against a large number of individuals. Circuit Court Clerk Penny Murphy said the panel looked at a total of 101 cases. In it's report to Judge Duane Slone, the panel said it returned 74 indictments, 26 sealed presentments and returned just one "no true bill", clearing the one defendant of the charges she faced. Two of the indicted defendants face aggravated robbery charges among other offenses. Bryan Keith Koester, 22, Ross Drive, Dandridge, allegedly went to the residence of William Buchanan, North Chucky Pike, Jefferson City, on May 9. The warrant says Koester, who had a fake badge and a gun, advised Buchanan he was a law officer "sent to get his drugs and drug money." Investigators were told that the victim turned over two ounces of marijuana and $600 in cash to Koester who now is charged with aggravated robbery as well as criminal simulation, stemming from his claim that he was a law officer. Nicholas L. Lukens, 28, Bartlett Drive, Jefferson City is charged in the June 30 hold-up of the Sanitary Drug Store in White Pine. Armed with a black semi-automatic handgun, Lukens demanded Oxycontin from the store employees, Wes Cowan, Janice Barnes and Doyle Manis. He fled with Oxycontin valued at $6,000.
