Knoxville, TN (WOKI) Two Knoxville restaurateurs and managers of Marble City Market are indicted, accused of stealing almost a quarter-million dollars from the food hall.

Ashley and Paul Moody took over operations at Marble City Market in August of 2022. The management shake-up was supposed to help the food hall pick up steam, but now owner of RSQ Management Douglas White is claiming they embezzled money from the business he co-owns.

Knoxville police have been given a list of all reported theft items; the couple was indicted for stealing “at least $250,000.”
