Major with THP Resigns after Grundy County Arrest

State officials say the head of the Special Investigations Bureau with the Tennessee Highway Patrol has resigned following his arrest on charges that include aggravated assault and public intoxication.
Department of Safety and Homeland Security officials announced Friday that 47-year-old Major Stacy Williams had resigned before he may have been fired following an internal investigation.
Williams and his wife were arrested earlier this month at their home in Altamont in Grundy County. Grundy County officials at the time said deputies encountered a disturbance between Williams and his neighbors and had to subdue him with a Taser.
Williams had been a trooper since 1994.
