SCOTT COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVC) ? A grandmother in Scott County, Tennessee (northwest of Knoxville) faces charges that she stole one of her grandchildren's presents from under the family Christmas tree.
A post on the Facebook page of the Scott County Sheriff's Office says 43-year-old Amy D. Best, of Oneida, is now in the county jail, charged with theft under $1,000.
The post says Best's family reached out to police Friday to report a Nintendo Switch that was under the tree had been stolen.
Scott County Sheriff's Detective Lisa Anderson was able to identify a Nintendo Switch that was pawned at the Winfield Pawn Shop, and identified Amy Best as the person who took it there for cash.
The post says investigators are still working to learn if Best is responsible for stealing other items.
Scott County Sheriff Ronnie Phillips said, "It's a sad day and time to see charges like this at such a special time of the year for special people, including children. We won't stand for it. We appreciate Detective Anderson's noble work and we will continue to commitment ourselves to these investigations."
