Knox County pays $1M to veteran who was severely hurt in wrongful police stop

A military veteran who was tased and seriously injured by a sheriff's deputy in 2022 reached a significant settlement with the Knox County. A damning appeals court ruling said the officer had no right to stop the man in the first place, and certainly not to use a weapon that inflicted serious harm. The county will pay Brian Eugene Hux $1 million over a case of mistaken identity after deputy Randall Williams confronted him on Cherokee Trail in Knoxville. The officer misidentified Hux, 68, as a wanted man and fired his taser with minimal warning. Hux, who was homeless at the time, fell head-first into the ground and suffered life-threatening injuries. Hux’s case was given new life this summer with a unanimous Sixth Circuit appeals court ruling, which gave him a greenlight to sue the county. The decision was highly unusual because police officers are almost always immune from lawsuits. Williams argued his actions were covered by qualified immunity, a legal concept established by the U.S. Supreme Court that gives broad protection to officers for their actions on the job. The Sixth Circuit disagreed. “Mr. Hux had every reason to walk away, but he never did. He refused to let

Ex-Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet breaks silence on allegations behind firing

Former Heritage High School (Maryville, TN) head football coach and Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet is breaking his silence after being fired from his position at the Blount County school on Oct. 20. A report received by the Heritage High School administration stated that Osovet had attempted to influence the team's athletic trainers to circumvent the concussion protocol during a game against Carter on Sept. 25. A week later, Osovet was placed on administrative leave. According to a release from Blount County schools director Justin Ridge on Nov. 6, an investigation had determined that Osovet had "engaged in unprofessional conduct and insubordination, including actions inconsistent with the district's expectations for protecting student-health and safety". Osovet, who had remained fairly quiet throughout the process, finally took to social media to state his side of things on Nov. 6 "I firmly dispute these accusations and the characterization of my actions throughout this investigation," Osovet posted to his Facebook . "In my 36 years of coaching, I have never interfered with a physician's diagnosis or acted against established concussion protocols ― the safety and well-being of my players have always come first. "My time to speak will come, and when it

Knox County voters picked these two Democrats over entrenched GOP candidates

If Knox County voters were in the only ones in Tennessee, Democrat Jerri Green would be governor. And Green's race isn't the only one that would've flipped to Democrats if only Knox County had a say: Knox County chose Democrat David Miller over Republican Jimmy Matlock to represent them in Tennessee Senate District 5 (though the county is just a sliver of that district). Voters in Anderson and Loudon counties ended up carrying Matlock over the finish line , but Miller's Knox County success is notable given the district rarely fielded a Democratic opponent when Lt. Gov. Randy McNally held the seat after he was first elected in 1986. The last Democrat to run for that seat was Stuart Starr in 2018, who got 33% of the Knox County vote. Here's how Knox County voted Nov. 3: Governor Marsha Blackburn: 42% (won statewide with 46%) Jerri Green: 48% David Hatley: 7% Lauren Pinkston: 1% Constitutional amendment to allow judges to deny bail to certain defendants Yes: 62% (won statewide with 67%) No: 38% Constitutional amendment to make property taxes unconstitutional Yes: 64% (won statewide with 67%) No: 36% Constitutional amendment to add new rights for crime victims Yes: 73% (won
