The City of Watauga, Tennessee fired one of its two police officers. The one who once served as Sheriff of Carter County.
City leaders fired John Henson Thursday, July 16.
Just one month earlier, the Watauga City Commission voted to keep Henson on the force, despite the fact he had been convicted on a simple assault charge in Washington County, Tennessee.
Watauga City Manager Hattie Skeens would not say why Henson was fired, only it was not related to the assault conviction.
