April 4, 2008 TBI Will Take Case Involving Commissioner Frank Parker to Grand Jury

The Tribune is reporting today that D.A. Berkeley Bell says that the TBI will take the case involving Commissioner Frank Parker and Constable Paul King to the Hamblen County grand jury in May.

[Check the story out quickly! The link to the article will only be good for a short period of time as the Tribune deactivates links after just a few days]

Two weeks ago, I reported that a commissioner was visibly upset at the March 20 Commission meeting when a gentleman walked forward to speak during the public comments portion of the meeting.

That commissioner was Frank Parker.

The gentleman Frank did not want to be allowed to speak was Albert Walker.

Now it is clear why Frank Parker was upset by the sight of Mr. Walker walking up to speak to the full County Commission.

Frank was upset because he apparently knew that Mr. Walker would be asking why he had had to pay $750.00 (to Frank) to get his car out of the sheriff's impound lot.

That's a good question. Why would anyone have to pay $750.00 to Frank Parker when, according to Sheriff Esco Jarnagin, there were NO impound charges due for Walker's car--zero, zip, nada!

Jarnagin apparently thinks that Walker is "credible" and points out that Walker has a receipt for the $750.00 "impound charge" he gave to Parker.

The TBI investigation is complete, and the findings will be presented to the grand jury in May.
