DeKalb County has a new TWRA officer.
Colby Griffin has been assigned to DeKalb County. Originally from Lenoir City near Knoxville, Griffin relocated to DeKalb County about a month ago after graduating from the Tennessee Wildlife Officers Training Academy. He is a graduate of Bearden High School and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Griffin is engaged to Kendall Martin of Petersburg, Tennessee in Marshall County and they plan to marry in June.
Griffin will be joining fellow TWRA Officer Tony Cross in working DeKalb County.
Colby, who enjoys hunting and fishing in his spare time, said he loves this area and is looking forward to living and working here.
