Garrison Field Bleachers Coming Down in Preparation for Park Redevelopment
Crossville city crews have been working this week to begin the process of recreating Garrison Park using state grant funds to improve the centrally located park.
The removal of the 60 year old bleachers has been controversial as some wanted to see the structure saved but because work to improve the bleachers would require upgrades to ADA standards, the city council decided to remove them.
Plans for the park include a picnic area, playground, walking trail, basketball courts and a public restroom facility. The cost of the park redevelopment totals approximately $1 million with the state grant covering half the cost or $500,000.
Previous story on Garrison Park history and condition from August 2016
Final design plans for the park are currently being prepared and bids on the project are expected to go out in early Spring 2018. Plans are that the baseball field A will be retained at the park. Original plans called for a multi-purpose field as phase 2 of the park redevelopment.

New Law Prohibits Talking on Hand Held Cell Phone in School Zones
(Info provided by Crossville Police Dept.) Starting January 1st, 2018, it will be a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $50 — for a person to knowingly operate a motor vehicle in any marked school zone in this state, when a warning flasher or flashers are in operation, and talk on a hand-held mobile telephone while the vehicle is in motion.

Smith County Man Arrested, Charged with Attempted Murder of his Son-In-Law
TBI Agents Investigate Officer-Involved Shooting, Two Other Shooting Incidents in Smith County
At the request of 15th District Attorney General Tommy Thompson, TBI Special Agents are investigating the circumstances surrounding three related shootings, including an officer-involved shooting, that occurred Saturday in Smith County.
Preliminary information indicates law enforcement was alerted that Dora Nash was shot by her husband Stacye Nash (DOB 06/21/1962) at their residence on Tribble Lane in Gordonsville. The initial investigation reveals that Stacye Nash then went to his wife's son's residence nearby, and got into an altercation with the son and his girlfriend, firing shots at both of them. The son received a superficial injury from one of the bullets. The girlfriend called 911 and hid in the woods until law enforcement officers arrived. Several deputies with the Smith County Sheriff's Department and one officer with the Gordonsville Police Department responded to the scene. The investigation indicates that Nash fired at the officers, striking several of the vehicles but no individuals. Officers returned fire, striking Nash.
Dora and Stacye Nash were each transported for treatment of their injuries. No officers were injured during the incident.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Special Agents continue to interview witnesses relevant to the investigation. TBI Special Agent Forensic Scientists with the Violent Crime Response Team responded to collect evidence and process the scene throughout the night. As in any case, our investigative findings will be shared with the District Attorney General throughout the process for his consideration and review.
As is our policy, the TBI does not identify the officers involved in these types of incidents and instead refers questions of that nature to their respective department
