Courts and Crime

It’s believed that Larry Foster has carved a path of scams from Indiana all the way to Bedford County.

    The Bedford County Sheriff’s Office is looking for Foster, having taken out warrants for his arrest on construction fraud and obtaining money under false pretenses.
    Foster is being sought in connection with numerous complaints from citizens to the BCSO of a possible water filtration system scam.

    A 48-year-old Florida man will spend 15 years in prison for sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl, the result of a plea agreement reached in Bedford County Circuit Court Friday.

    One year to the day after being shot in their own yard on Haven Heights Road just outside Bedford, 62-year-old Glenn Caldwell and his son, 36-year-old Michael Caldwell, sat in court as their attacker was found guilty for inflicting their wounds.

    And after the guilty verdict was pronounced, Glenn Caldwell picked up the cane he is now forced to use and walked out of the courtroom with his son and other members of his family. The wounds remain for both of them.

    One suspect in a May theft at the Taco Bell in Forest is in custody, another is being sought.

    The robbery occurred when a masked male carrying a handgun entered through the drive-through window on May 23. Bedford County 911 dispatchers received a call a little after 11 p.m. that Wednesday night from the Taco Bell, 14867 Forest Road in Forest, reporting an attempted armed robbery.
