TAZEWELL, Tenn. (AP) -- A sheriff from northeastern Tennessee faces managed to bag a deer and a citation for hunting without a license in one trip into the woods.
Claiborne County Sheriff David Ray received the misdemeanor citation along with two other men after a hunting trip on Nov. 25. The citation is for a misdemeanor charge of hunting without a license after he shot a deer on the county fairgrounds property. near the Powell Valley Electric Cooperative office in New Tazewell.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency citation says one of the other men also shot a deer.
The citations were issued Monday, after TWRA officials conferred with 8th District Attorney General Paul Phillips.
The 62-year-old sheriff could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Let's not rush to get all the facts.
When will you people wake up. This man is no law abiding person. Get rid of him before he really does something that he won't be given another slap on the wrist for. By the way, does this violate his probation conditions from Hamblen County?
The sheriff there is above the law! That's why his friends get away with anything!
