CHATTANOOGA – An investigation by Special Agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the arrest of an Alabama man in a shooting death that occurred last fall at a Bradley County landfill.

At the request of 10^th District Attorney General Steve Crump, on September 8, 2016, TBI Special Agents began investigating a shooting death that occurred that day at the Bradley County Landfill at 282 Natures Trail in McDonald. Jeremy Headley (DOB 5/28/1992) was found deceased as the result of a shooting. During the course of the investigation, Agents developed information that led them to Mark Steven Treuchet (DOB 1/22/1963) as the individual responsible for the death of Mr. Headley.

On January 18^th, the Bradley County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Treuchet, of Columbiana, Alabama, with one count of First Degree Murder. In the early morning hours Sunday, Treuchet was taken into custody after turning himself in to a TBI Special Agent. He was booked into the Bradley County Jail and is being held without bond pending arraignment.
