Today in Tennessee Segment 7/14/26
I'm Daniel Wagner with the Patriot Punk Network, giving you the latest Tennessee news in 3 minutes or less.
This is our Today in Tennessee Segment brought to you by Estate of Creative. Local, ready-to-go furniture restored and ready for you.
Let's Go!!
Round 1
Pay attention, Humboldt.
Last night, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen took up an Agenda item; a request from the Parks & Recreation Board to remove the Nathan Bedford Forrest statue from Bailey Park.
That monument is exactly the kind of memorial covered by Tennessee’s Heritage Protection Act, which says local governments cannot remove or relocate historic memorials on public property without going through the state waiver process.
Many in the community are saying that this particular statue is not even Nathan Bedford Forrest, but rather a generic confederate infantry soldier meant to honor those who fought in the war.
While the placard does have Bedford's name on it, it clearly states "erected by," and even says, in "memory of our southern heroes of Gibson County."
[MEETING OUTCOME GOES HERE]
The board voted unanimously to postpone until the Oct 12 meeting, 3 months from now to give their lawyer time to research and interpret the laws and proper procedures moving forward.
Round 2
Do you enjoy scavenger hunts?
Yesterday we released phone dump of convicted rapist and murderer, Charles Chuck Carter out of Putnam County.
Unfortunately, with the recent release of 'Left on Read: The Chuck Carter Files,' we've taken this story about as far as we could with our small team.
That's where we need your help.
We have released the entire phone dump (complete with messages, phone numbers, dates, and times) showing all of the incriminating messages Carter was sending in the days leading up to the death of one of his victims, Olivia Taylor.
You can find the link to the phone dump on the Patriot Punk Network Facebook page, and help to determine who he was talking to, about what, and assist us in filling in the blanks of this dark tale.
Certain names have been redacted to protect victims and minors and, on the Facebook page, we've given you a few search terms you can use to start your scavenger hunt.
That's two rounds down and one to go and it would really make our week if you tickled our buttons a little bit.
Round 3
Kenneth Dion Spruill isn’t just wanted—he’s officially on Tennessee’s Most Wanted list, which means law enforcement really wants eyes on this guy.
He’s wanted out of Lawrence County for Attempted First Degree Murder, Especially Aggravated Burglary, Especially Aggravated Robbery, and Theft of Property, and authorities say he should be considered armed and dangerous.
Spruill is 36 years old, about 6'1" and 205 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.
If you’re out and about and someone matching that description suddenly makes you think, “Hey, that looks like the guy from that TBI poster I saw on the Today in Tennessee Segment,” don’t play hero—grab your phone instead.
There’s a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to his arrest.
If you see him or know where he might be, call it in and let TBI turn this “Most Wanted” into “Most Recently Arrested… and don't forget to collect your reward money for your efforts.
That was your daily Tennessee news roundup.
