KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Two men are behind bars after the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says they stole at least $60,000 from a fraternity at the University of Tennessee.

TBI began investigating a theft from the Beta Sigma Chi fraternity in September 2017, and agents determined Douglas Lesher, 65, had access to the fraternity's bank account. Through further investigation, agents determined 65-year-old Patrick Martin was involved as well.

Both were indicted and charged with one count of theft over $60,000. They're being held in the Knox County Jail on $100,000 bonds.
