Dresden, Tenn.—At a hearing Monday morning in Weakley County Circuit Court, all felony charges brought earlier against Union City businessman Jerry Ward were dismissed.
Ward had been charged with two counts of financial exploitation of an elderly woman after being indicted by a Weakley County Grand Jury in January. He already pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Weakley County Circuit Court Clerk Jenny Killebrew told WENK/WTPR Monday that the charges against Ward were dismissed upon the state’s motion.
Appearing for the state was District Attorney Colin Johnson. Representing Ward was Union City Attorney Steve Conley.
After a complaint by the late woman’s family, the investigation was conducted by the District Attorney’s Office and the TBI with assistance from the Weakley Co. Sheriff’s Office.
