Fake Fire Inspector Arrested
Wesley Mark Shaw
Wesley Mark Shaw, 58, of Decherd allegedly targeted primarily ethnic restaurants operated by people who don’t English well, Shelbyville police and fire personnel said.
Bedford County Jail records show Shaw is charged with six counts of impersonation of a licensed professional and one count of criminal simulation.
Shaw claimed he could order the restaurants to close unless they passed “fire safety inspections” he conducted at a cost of several hundred dollars each, police said. One Shelbyville restaurant paid for three inspections, according to police.
Allegedly, Shaw identified himself as operations manager of “Tennessee Fire Specialty Systems” and claimed to have a Tennessee inspection license. Investigators say that license is not valid, and Shaw has no enforcement authority.
Shaw claimed to have been sent by insurance companies or fire marshals, officials were told. Following the “inspections,” Shaw placed tags on fire extinguishers and other prevention systems bearing the fake firm’s name and an invalid Tennessee state license number, according to police.
Restaurant personnel told police the suspect arrived as late as 11 p.m., outside normal business hours.
Shaw is accused of extorting money from minority business owners and charging exorbitant fees for the false inspections.
Reports of similar demands in Marshall, Lincoln and Franklin counties have been reported, and police have discovered the suspect has also hit restaurants in Huntsville, Alabama. (Shelbyville Times-Gazette)
Rescue Crews Save Man from Water He had Fallen In
Rescue crews from several agencies were called out early Monday morning to help rescue a man that had fallen into a waterway near the Grundy and Marion County line.
Apparently, the unidentified man fell into the water and was holding onto a tree when emergency crews arrived.
Volunteer firefighters from Coalmont and Altamont were first to arrive on the scene just after midnight.
The team of rescuers worked throughout the early morning hours to pull the man to safety.

Robert Seth Parker, 42 of Decherd, was arrested by Winchester Police for disorderly conduct, indecent exposure and public intoxication in connection with the incident.
According to reports, dispatch personnel had received several calls about a man running around nude at the hospital, kicking cars and pushing someone down while running into building on the property. The police report also indicates that the man allegedly admitted to law enforcement that he had been taking meth and needed help.

Gas Prices should Drop Soon
Motorists should soon catch a break from rising gas prices.
Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group said the drop in crude should amount to a discount of at least 10 cents at the pump.
Gas prices in Tennessee increased 6 cents during the past week. The state average on Memorial Day was $2.73 – the most expensive for the holiday since 2014, when the average price was $3.45 per gallon.
Tennessee motorists are paying 62 cents per gallon more than a year ago. It now costs $41 to fill an average-size tank of gasoline – an increase of nearly $10.
U.S. oil prices traded at 3.5-year highs of nearly $73 per barrel. On Friday, crude prices plunged below $68 – the lowest daily closing price in three weeks.
The low price per gallon as Tuesday afternoon in Manchester was $2.65 and in Tullahoma, $2.68.
