COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Two Tennessee Highway Patrol officers in Cookeville have been placed on leave pending an internal investigation of possible procedural violations.
Captain David Allred, who heads the Cookeville district of the THP, and Sergeant Keven Norris, a member of the THP’s critical incident response team in Putnam County, were placed on discretionary leave with pay last Friday.
The THP, in a news release Wednesday, did not specify the possible policy violations on the job by both State Troopers.
The news release said the two notified officials about the possible violations.
All departmental equipment including weapons, badges and commission cards were secured pending the investigation.
