A joint investigation by Special Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and deputies with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in David Herbert Anderson of Yuma man being returned to jail.
At the request of 24th District Attorney General Matthew Stowe, on July 6th, TBI Agents joined deputies in investigating the apparent shooting death of 64-year old Ben Cole Birdwell.

On Sunday, TBI Agents, Carroll County deputies and Tennessee State Troopers executed a search warrant at Anderson’s Yuma home. After Agents discovered a loaded shotgun and firearm ammunition, a judge ordered Anderson to be taken into custody for violating conditions of his bond. He is currently being held without bond in the Carroll County Jail.
