..and the winners are

In our local race for the 49th state district Mike Sparks won with 57% of the votes.

I was horribly disappointed that Haslsam won due to his flip-flopping on certain issues in the last day.

Dianne Black(66%) now represents us in the 6th congressional district.

Well that's it for tonight.

Wanted

From the Smyrna Police Department

I am hoping you can help us locate a suspect and warn banking institutions to watch out for this suspect and prevent further forgeries/thefts.

We currently have sealed indictments issued for Jeremy Hulled. The charges are for 3 counts of forgery, 2 counts of theft $1000 - $9999 and 1 count of theft under $500.

Hullett forged checks from a local business and cashed them at two Regions Bank locations in Smyrna and was able to receive several thousand dollars from the illegal transactions.

We are hoping someone will recognize Hullett from the attached photos and provide Smyrna Police with his possible location. We also hope to warn banking institutions to watch out for Hullett since he may attempt to forge more checks and cash them at other banking locations.

Any person with information regarding the location of Hullett is urged to contact Det. Allan Nabours of the Smyrna Police Dept. at (615) 459-6644 or their local law enforcement agency.

Any help you can provide by posting this information is greatly appreciated.

Wow!

This story about a Smyrna resident has it all. It includes murder, a faked death. misidentified remains, and cocaine trafficking.

Bruce Alan Littleton of Smyrna, TN was indicted on murder charges in 2000 and pled guilty in October 2001 to second degree murder for killing “Andrew.” Another hitchhiker, Joel McElroy, was traveling with Littleton when Bluitt was murdered. McElroy also pled to charges related to his role in the crime and was sentenced to several years in prison.
...
Tennessee. He strangled Bluitt with a belt under the Tennessee River Bridge in Humphreys County. Littleton kept the body in the backseat of his car under a blanket for two days at his apartment in Smyrna. Then Littleton drove to Grundy County, staged a car crash, put Bluitt’s body in the driver’s seat, poured gasoline in the car and set it on fire.

I'm glad to know his family can finally put the victim to rest.
