Sheriff Ray said that on February 24 a deputy was called to the home of Turner’s mother on A.B. Frazier Road where Turner was an unwanted guest. Upon arrival the officer spoke with Turner and a computer check revealed that he was under a temporary order of protection to keep away from the residence. He entered the home loudly calling out the victim’s name causing that person to escape through a window in fear.

Customers can also purchase the new design of the collector’s card for any annual license. This waterproof, durable card features paintings by Tennessee artist Abraham Hunter. Customers may choose between two new designs, a brook trout or a pair of gobblers.
Hunters and anglers have been funding Tennessee’s and the nation’s wildlife conservation for more than 100 years through license purchases. All hunting and fishing license fees go to support wildlife conservation in Tennessee. What’s more, a license purchase returns taxes paid on firearms, archery equipment, fishing gear and boat fuel to Tennessee at a rate of up to $40 per year so a license purchase is a great investment. This successful funding system is the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration program which is the largest driver of wildlife conservation nationwide.
