A Rhea County Deputy and Spring City Police Officer have been charged by TWRA for spotlighting a buck last season. The Rhea County deputy has been fired. No word on any actions taken against the Spring City cop.

We had a case some years back of the sheriff of our county stopping and emptying his service revolver at robo deer, while the gw's were yelling at him on the radio to stop. Nothing ever came of it to my knowledge.
