Word Of 10 Day Stay Comes Too Late; Woman Commits Suicide As Sheriff's Deputies Arrive At Foreclosed Home To Carry Out Eviction

In Sevierville, Tennessee, WVLT-TV Channel 8 reports:

• A Sevierville woman apparently committed suicide as Sevier County Sheriff's deputies arrived to evict her family from their home, but the family attorney and relatives are asking a big question. Should deputies have been at the home at all?

• Sevierville police say they went to the home of Jimmy and Pamela Ross on Monday to assist Sheriff's deputies in an eviction, but court documents shows a judge just Monday morning had given the Ross' at least 10 more days before they had to get out.

• [The family's attorney Herb] Moncier says Ross' husband Jimmie was in court Monday morning fighting his foreclosure. Moncier says while Ross was there, Sevier County deputies were arriving at Ross's Lexington Place home. But Moncier says, "It appears clear from that file that there was not a writ of possession." In fact, court documents show, at the hearing Sevier County Judge Jeff Rader gave Ross 10 days more to appeal his case.
