MANCHESTER, Tenn. (WTVF) — A couple from Manchester have been arrested on charges of theft from a Manchester construction company.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations, agents began investigating allegations of employee theft and fraud from Gilley Construction in September 2022.

During the course of the investigation, they identified Paul and Pamela Campbell, former employees of the construction company as those responsible for misappropriating company funds for personal gain, from 2014 to 2017.

A Coffee County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging them on September 10, each with one count of theft over $250,000.

The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law.

Remembering Eudora Boxley, a trailblazing TV cook from WLAC's early days

I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
