I read that too. Here it is verbatim for those who care to read his words:
"Waiving the White Flag
After almost a decade of attempting to destroy me and my entire family's life and reputation, after the raids, destruction of property, illegal searches, arresting Marty out of her second grade classroom and not allowing her to see her attorney while being shackled and interrogated, arresting my kids, illegal surveillance without search warrants, targeting and threatening my friends, admitting no probable cause, costing me millions in lost sponsorships, endorsements, sales and business opportunities while they spent enormous amounts of wasted man power and tax payer money to purposely target us merely because of a personal vendetta- the 5th DA in 10 years representing the TWRA called and notified my attorney that they are "waving the white flag" and dropping all charges.
This rogue government agency was blatantly malicious in targeting us in this ridiculous investigation and we are extremely grateful it's come to an end.
I want to give a special thanks to our friends and all those who openly supported Marty and I during this time. A special thanks to Danny Weeks, Crysti Shelley and the Dickson County Schools for seeing through the ridiculous charges and accusations and allowing Marty to keep her job and assuming innocence instead of guilt like many others did.
On the contrary, the previous governor (Bill Haslam), the TWRA commissioners, (many of whom I thought were friends) state representatives, senators, Secretary of State of Tennessee (Tre Hargett) and sponsors like Mossy Oak, Under Armour, PSE and others turned their backs on us after many years of service and long cultivated relationships, assuming guilt before proven.
During this time, thanks to my attorney, Kline Preston and others, we have been a big part in getting two major laws changed. One on a federal level with the Supreme Court and one in Tennesssee to help protect citizens and hunters of their rights. We do this in an effort to prevent this from happening to others in future.
I want to thank God for my amazing wife Marty, my kids, Cassie and Coleman, and my sisters Bunnie and Angel for your love and support. And again thanks to my friends and family who are too numerous to name who stood by my side.
God bless,
Spook & Marty Spann"
