Sheriff Cleared of Tennessee DUI Ticket Fixing
Investigation yields little information leading to sheriff being cleared of wrong-doing
An East Tennessee county sheriff has been cleared of fixing a ticket for drunk driving in Sevier County. Sheriff Ron 'Hoss' Seals was accused by a former deputy of helping a TN DUI suspect avoid prosecution by allowing the motorist to be taken from the scene by a third party.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted a four month long investigation and was unable to corroborate the allegations. The deputy who made the accusation could not provide the name of the individual arrested for DUI, the name of the third party who took the individual from the scene, nor the date of the alleged DUI traffic stop. The TBI could not locate a record of the suspect’s car being towed.
The Sevier County District Attorney, citing lack of information and evidence, agreed with the TBI's decision to conclude the investigation.
