How's the Law Muddling Along in Rogersville?

Remember the great 72 Roadhouse raid? You may not since nothing has been published about it since the initial days of the investigation. Was an underage female employee attacked? That was the original call to Rogersville dispatch. After that, things became extremely muddy.

There were three arrests, and the eatery was closed permanently. We understand that many of the employees haven't been able to find jobs since the roadhouse closed. Well, accusations of rape will do that sometimes.

One employee was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender, while a second was arrested on misdemeanor warrants. A third employee, the manager, was taken into custody on attempted rape charges and in connection with out of state warrants. What happened to those charges?

It seems there has yet to be an indictment in Lauderdale County...and there may not be one. Why? No one from the Rogersville police showed up to present evidence to the grand jury. The manager is either one lucky man or a very innocent one.

Our take? The police department is too busy examining vape pens to appear at court proceedings. Don't police officers face contempt of court in cases like these? Do Rogersvillians fall asleep at night feeling safe?

We welcome rebuttals...and stories of incompetence.

No, That Was Five Dozen!
