MURFREESBORO, TN – A 57-year-old man has turned himself in to authorities following an indictment issued by a Rutherford County Grand Jury, according to court records. David Ross is accused of stealing between $60,000 and $250,000 while working with at least one local nonprofit organization. He has also been charged with obtaining, possessing, buying, or using another person’s identification. Both of the charges are felonies.
Court documents indicate the alleged theft began on or took place around January 1, 2022. However, Ross was not taken into custody until Wednesday, January 14, 2026 – when he was arrested by Detective Emily Speed, a fraud investigator with the Criminal Investigations Division of the Murfreesboro Police Department.

The order required judicial approval of the source of the bonding funds through what is known as a “Lodged Order Approving Source Bond.”…
