Former Sheriff Richard McElhaney Arrested for DUI


Former Grainger County Sheriff Richard McElhaney was arrested on a DUI charge Monday by the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

McElhaney, 55, is also charged with violating the implied consent law.

He was pulled over at 4:00 p.m. for weaving on Highway 11W west of Rutledge in the Joppa community as he drove a 1993 Chevrolet pick-up truck.

The Highway Patrol says McElhaney refused a breathalyzer test.

He was released from the Grainger County Jail on bond.
