Warrants Served On Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and The Sheriff’s Home
TBI spokesman Josh DeVine said in a statement on Thursday that the warrants are part of an ongoing investigation into possible public corruption involving multiple targets within the sheriff’s department.
DeVine said he couldn’t discuss specifics because of the continuing investigation.
Last month, the TBI confirmed it was looking into connections between Rutherford County Sheriff Robert Arnold and his family members who own companies that sell electronic cigarettes and snacks to inmates at the county jail.
The FBI says that it is too early to determine if any charges would be filed at this point.
