Law Enforcement and Others on High Alert

Gov. Bill Haslam

Governor Bill Haslam said on Tuesday that all hands are on deck with local and state agencies, including the National Guard, in the case that he declares a state of emergency due to the white nationalist rallies.
The two rallies planned in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro have the entire state of Tennessee on high alert.
Gov. Haslam said local law enforcement will play the lead but THP and the safety department are ready to support in anyway necessary.
Haslam said all state agencies are on standby in case things become violent.
A spokesperson for the Tennessee National Guard said that they have not received any orders to activate this weekend as of Tuesday.
TEMA said they will be in touch with local officials as the rallies unfold, and if they are called upon, they can make a speedy response.
Haslam is not declaring a state of emergency for Tennessee yet.
Haslam said if the National Guard is needed over the weekend, he will have to issue that state of emergency in order to activate the units. (WKRN)

Tullahoma Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing man.
David Edward Steele, 33, of Franklin County has not been seen since Sept. 2
Steele is a white male with blonde hair and blue eyes. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs approximately 170 lbs.
According to a police report by Tullahoma Police Officer Chase Sons, information about the missing man came about after a Franklin County Sheriff’s Deputy made a traffic stop and the woman he stopped said that Steele had been shot in the area of Dossett Apartments in Tullahoma. Officers checked and there had been no report of a shooting at the apartments.

The father also asked the officer to make sure that surrounding counties be notified of Steele being listed as missing. He has been entered into the National Crime Computer system as a missing person.
Investigators from the Tullahoma Police Department have been contacting known friends of David Steel to learn if they have had contact with him.
Police asked that anyone with information on the whereabouts of David Edward Steel to call the police department at 931-455-0530.
