An alleged rapist caught on a 911 call, a gas station owner accused of chasing and shooting at a customer and a teenager who authorities say confessed to abusing a younger relative are just a few of the more than 80 individuals recently indicted by a Limestone County grand jury.

The list was released Friday by the Limestone County Circuit Court Clerk’s office. Among those on the first page is 59-year-old Mark Anthony Craig of Athens, who was arrested in December 2020 on a charge of first-degree rape.

According to the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office, the victim told investigators “Craig woke her up and demanded that she have sex with him or leave.” When the victim tried to leave, Craig began punching and choking her, then raping her.

The victim called 911 during the attack, and when Craig realized this, he stopped and demanded she get out of the home, according to LCSO.

Pump and chase

An Athens gas station owner received an early birthday present this year — an indictment on one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, stemming from a chase in October 2020.

LCSO deputies responded to a call around 8:30 a.m. involving a chase eastbound on U.S. 72 near West Washington Street. The driver of the pursuing vehicle was reportedly ramming the victim’s vehicle and firing shots at it as they entered the Athens city limits.

Athens Police spoke with the victim at U.S. 72 and Hine Street, where they noted damage to the rear of the victim’s truck, including a bullet hole. The victim said they had been chased from S&Z Grocery on U.S. 72.

When LCSO deputies spoke with 64-year-old Phillip Wayne Stewart, owner of S&Z, they noted his vehicle had front-end damage. According to LCSO Deputy Stephen Young, Stewart said he started the chase because the victim stole gas from the business, but as of his arrest in October, investigators had not verified the theft claim.

Family accused

Nearly a year after the victim reported the assault to authorities, an Elkmont teenager has been indicted on one count of first-degree sodomy.

Young said investigators learned of the abuse in Feb. 19, 2020. The victim, who was under the age of 12, disclosed during an interview that they were abused by Clyde Norman Reneau, a relative.

Reneau, who was 16 at the time, admitted to the abuse during a subsequent interview, according to LCSO. Because the charge of first-degree sodomy is a Class A felony, Reneau is being tried as an adult.
