LEWIS COUNTY, TN – An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment and arrest of a Lewis County deputy on charges of theft and money laundering.
On September 13th, at the request of 32nd Judicial District Attorney General Hans Schwendimann, TBI special agents began investigating a complaint of theft against Lewis County Deputy Brandon Grady.
The investigation revealed that in the fall of 2020, Grady was the president of a youth football and cheer organization.
