BREAKING‼️‼️

We’re learning tonight former Knox County Sheriff Tom Spangler has died. He has been battling pancreatic cancer for nearly 3 years.

His former press representative, Kimberly Glenn, sent a statement saying in part: I am heartbroken to share that former Knox County Sheriff Tom Spangler has passed away.

Tom, also affectionately known to many as “Spanky,” was so many things to so many people. He was Sheriff. A veteran. A public servant. A leader. A mentor. A friend.

But to the people who loved him most, he was simply a devoted & loving Husband: Dad, Paw Paw, brother, and Uncle.

SUDDEN CLOSURES: We are continuing to track the abrupt shutdowns of O’Charley’s locations across Tennessee, including the restaurant on Kingston Pike and multiple reports out of Middle Tennessee.

When reaching out to the contact email posted on the Kingston Pike doors, a PR firm responded: “Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, we do not have anyone from the company available for comment at this time. We will get back to you as soon as we can.” Parent company Cannae Holdings has also not released an official statement.

Did your local O'Charley's close its doors? Let us know in the comments.

BLOCKING THE LENS: Knox County is using homemade plastic covers to block Flock cameras from view until they are officially taken down.

County Commission passed an ordinance significantly restricting the cameras' use, setting a removal deadline for next Wednesday. After Flock stated that timeline wasn’t possible—pushing their estimated completion date to October 7—Mayor Betsy Henderson shared that these temporary covers offer a "cost-effective" way to keep the cameras out of service in the meantime.

What are your thoughts on Knox County’s decision?
