GRAINGER COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A former Grainger County Sheriff is facing charges, after failing a field sobriety test Monday afternoon, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

A THP trooper says he pulled 55-year-old Richard McElhaney over on Highway 11W just west of Rutledge in the Joppa Community.

Investigators say the stop was made after a trooper noticed the pickup truck weaving on the highway.

McElhaney is charged with first offense DUI and violation of the implied consent law.
