ERWIN — A Unicoi County grand jury returned 10 true bills on Friday afternoon charging Unicoi County Sheriff Kent Harris with 10 felony charges.
The charges include six counts of official misconduct, and one count each of tampering with evidence, criminal simulation, theft over $1,000 and attempted aggravated assault.
District Attorney General Tony Clark said the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation presented the case to the grand jury and that subpoenaed witnesses presented testimony in court on Friday. Clark said Harris was served with a criminal summons on the indictments late Friday afternoon.
“We worked diligently on these to get them presented to the grand jury today, so they were all presented today and there was a true bill returned on all counts,” Clark said.
Clark said the charges stem from a pair of TBI investigations — one initiated in 2009 and the other in 2010 — that overlapped and were eventually combined, he said. According to a TBI release, the agency began the investigation into allegations of misconduct made against Harris in September 2010 after being requested by the Clark’s office.
The TBI release states the six counts of official misconduct stem from incidences on June 23-24, June 30, July 12-13, July 15, July 17 and July 19 of 2010 when Harris allegedly had inmates at the Unicoi County Jail perform labor on property located on North Mohawk Drive that the sheriff owns.
Harris also altered or destroyed a record related to evidence or the evidence that was part of an investigation on Sept. 6, 2008, which resulted in the tampering with evidence charge, the TBI said.
Harris made or altered a memo requesting payment from Unicoi County for a vehicle that was donated to the county resulting in the criminal simulation charge, the TBI release states. The theft incident occurred on Sept. 23, 2008, when Harris received $4,500 that was property of the county, according to the TBI.
Harris was charged with attempted aggravated assault for attempting to assault a man with a deadly weapon on July 21 of this year, according to the TBI. This incident followed a meeting of the Unicoi County’s Finance Committee, when Harris confronted Unicoi County resident J.D. Hensley.
Clark said the TBI intended to arrest Harris, however he said Criminal Court Judge Lynn Brown did not feel that move would be prudent in the case. Clark said the TBI and district attorney general’s office opposed Brown’s decision.
“Judge Brown said that was his decision, that it’s his call,” Clark said. “I respectfully disagreed with him and he respectfully disagreed with me, and a summons was issued in lieu of an arrest and that’s the only explanation he gave me.”
Although Harris was not arrested, Clark said the sheriff must report to the Unicoi County Jail at some point for booking and fingerprinting. According to the TBI, Harris must appear in court within 10 days to be processed. Harris is scheduled to appear in Unicoi County Criminal Court on Nov. 22.
Clark said he has taken no personal pleasure in pursuing the case and that the case has proven to be a difficult one.
“This has been a long case,” Clark said. “There has been a lot of speculation and rumors flying around Unicoi County. I live in this county. It’s been very difficult. People have said that people were being drugged, things were being covered up. That’s not the case. The TBI did a very thorough investigation.
“It has been very difficult, it has not been an easy thing for anybody here. Sheriff Harris was a friend. I’ve known him for years, but I have a job to do. I took an oath to do what was right. I’m not saying Sheriff Harris is guilty of anything, but we certainly had the evidence, I thought, to present this case to the grand jury and that’s what we did.”
Information gleaned from witness testimony on Friday could result in other charges for Harris, Clark said.
“There is some ongoing investigation as to some other matters we’re looking into as a result of some things that came to light today,” he said.
Clark also said some witnesses offering testimony have been threatened and harassed. This activity, he said, will not be tolerated by his office and violators will be charged “without hesitation.”
Harris could not be reached Friday for comment.
Unicoi County Mayor Greg Lynch said he was unable to comment on the matter at this time.
Unicoi County Commission Chairwoman Sue Jean Wilson said the matter will be a topic of discussion at the County Commission’s planning session on Oct. 24. Wilson also said a meeting between the commissioners and County Attorney Doug Shults has been requested to see what advice Shults can offer as far as the next steps that may need to be taken.
“People are innocent until proven guilty and with none of (the commissioners) being attorneys and never having faced anything like this, we must be very careful,” Wilson said. “We want the citizens to know that we are being proactive of what is expected of us and will set up some sort of time frame for whatever steps we have to go through.”

What I don't understand is how he has held the title "sheriff" any way? He hasn't performed any of his dutie's since his "accident". I think it's been like 6-9 mo., maybe longer, since it happened and he probably hasn't even been to the police station a total of 2 weeks out of that time. How can he stay sheriff when he can't even pretend to do his job? As for these charges all I have to say is, it's about time! He has always loved getting his 5 minutes on the news telling about how him and his department are doing such a good job at getting all the criminals off of the streets of Erwin. Wonder how he feels now that the shoe is on the other foot?

Kent has done well for Unicoi County in the past, but I feel his reign has come to an end. Erwin is just like every other small town on the map when it comes to rumors and people throwing stones. I think what irks me the most is the fact that some people don't want to open their eyes to see what is going on here. All this came out a while back and everyone just suspected rumor. Well, now that the TBI has indicted Kent it doesn't seem like too much of this may have been rumor. The TBI is not your local sheriffs dept., they are not out for political gain or to tarnish someone's name. He still has his followers and that's fine, but these people have blinders on when it comes to the sheriffs dept. I feel for his family and what they are about to endure with probably even more rumors and the fact that there are still more charges that could be placed on him. It's still kind of funny to hear people talk about this situation around town. I'm sure he is a good man, but geez people this isn't one charge that has been placed. There is something going on down there and it's time the local followers of Mr. Harris realized this. I just wonder how many more within the department will either be charged or resign from their positions. I'm sure Kent wasn't acting alone in whatever he was doing behind the scenes.

Well this is a start now if they will just clean out the rest of the sheriff's office. An officer is supposed to set a good example for the community not only on the job but in their personal life and everyone one knows they have several that are worse than the people they arrest. When my son was a teenager he couldn't go out without being pulled over for what they called a suspious stop and was patted down more than once he was a good kid just driving a bad looking car which gave them no right to stop him. So TBI keep digging you may just give this town what it needs a good old fashion house cleaning.

I have been wondering how long this " I'm goina arrest everyone in the county" dogma would last. He has now put Erwin on the same map as Bluff City, places to stay away from if at all possible. More investigation by the TBI will probably reveal his accident was not sustained by a fall, rather he was hit by a speed boat while walking across Boone Lake. Hope he gets a cell with an extra bed and saves it for Judge "the Clown" Brown, hopefully he will be on the next TBI probe!!!!

My grandfather made sure that I was raised in church and never missed a Sunday up until his death. To say that Masons are devil worshippers is isane. People make choices on a daily basis to do what is right, and if Mr. Kent Harris has done something wrong that doesn't make him a devil worshipper nor does it mean b/c he is a mason he felt it ok to steal and/or lie. Also, Shriners are also masons and I couldn't possibly imagine this country without their support for children with disabilities....I guess they feel it necessary to worship the devil when they stand in the street to take up money for their non profit organization to help needy children!

What you may soon read about could possibly tell of how $30k was removed from a supposed drug dealers garage during arrests and was never accounted for! Wonder how many ways that was split? Or to spice the story up the TBI could throw in there how a prisoner was allowed to leave work detail to meet up with one of court house blondes for a little R&R on his property. She returns to work and he gets to hangout w/cops on the streets. And you wonder why our property tax are screwed! Between hiring family and on the clock R&R, who can do an appraisal? Take a look at these guys on the squad. If u ever get stopped run on foot cause these guys will never catch u.

Kent Harris, whom I will not give the title of Sheriff to, has long been using his postion of power to rule Unicoi County Citizens who oppose him with threats, intimidation, and harrassment. FACT: Sheriff's budget talk ends in threat, melee in Unicoi- July 22, 2011 written by the Johnson City Press. Read the article folks! If reading the facts on that budget meeting doesn't show him in an unprofessional, disrespectful, arrogant nature then you people are just like him. “We gotta listen to all this, Bill?” Harris asked Finance Committee Chairman Bill Hensley. “We’ve got (County Technical Assistance Service) coming to do a study. Why do we have to listen to him?”
Read more: http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/News/article.php?id=92649#ixzz1b3JuzogCHow can an ELECTED offical speak to the people he is paid to SERVE the way he did. He has a SWORN DUTY to serve the tax payers who pay his salary! Not disrespect and belittle people who oppose and disagree with him. He used FORCE and intimidation on oppostion at that meeting which resulted in his aggravated assault charge. He used the THREAT OF PHYSICAL FORCE and assaulted an opposing citizen of this county that he was sworn to protect and serve. He has used his power to cost a wonderful talented young lady in Unicoi County of her job strictly because she spoke out against him. The last time I checked this was America where freedom of speech is still allowed. He had his wife, uncle, and grandmother retaliate against anyone speaking to the TBI in their investigation. They should have arrest warrants as well.
FACT: Unicoi County Sheriff reprimands deputies over handling of pot case- September 7, 2011 written by the Johnson City Press. This was Kent Harris' words--“If you want to know the exact policy they violated, I feel like it was inefficiency in the job for the fact that, you know, you would write the citation which is no more than a speeding ticket or not having your seat belt on to somebody for 21 marijuana plants,” Harris said.

That being said, his crimial summons he was issued, instead of being arrested on the spot for his alleged crimes is the exact same thing he reprimanded two of his VERY BEST OFFICERS of. His 10 FELONY inditements should CERTAINLY warrant an arrest and a ride in the worn out sheriff's deputy cars he should have been maintaining and replacing had he not been stealing money from the county and the drug fund to support his illegal activites and high society way of life.
Just because you "like" someone and they are popular, DOES NOT MAKE THEM RIGHT. And I commend the TBI officals and DA Tony Clark for doing what is not so popular by prosecuting him BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT! To the witnesses in the case, ALL OF YOU have my respect because you stood up for what was honest and just and were not afraid to do the right thing and were not bullied and scared into keeping quiet. So all of you Harris supporters, try looking past his charismatic smile and devil's tongue, and stop following him to the slaughter. If you will follow the FACTS, you will see he is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

NO ONE needs to be taking any county vehicle home. My taxes along with other citizens pay for the gas. They drive these cruisers to church in Buladean N.C., grocery stores, running around town and anywhere else they damn well please! Also why do the litter team employees need to drive a litter truck home?? One truck comes all the way to Limestone Cove; I doubt he is going to be out picking up any litter after work, since we always see inmates doing it. And who is the old man and woman that is always driving the SUV that belongs to the sheriff’s department? Could this be Grandpa and Grandma Harris? Why does any county employee driving a county car do 80 or 90 miles an hour on the interstate? This goes from the deputies to our Road Superintendent, this when their going home. We have one Johnson City cop and a Washington County cop that lives here in the county; they drive 50 miles an hour on a 30 mile zone. The deputies hide on private property with radar in Unicoi trying to catch someone. Why are these deputies above the law during work and after work hours.
The TBI needs to investigate long and hard, there is quite a few cops down there that cover up for their family and in-laws. Just a few months ago a deputies step son wrecked, drove his car on to his grandparents, two different deputies investigated this and both did nothing. A lot of evidence is destroyed before the TBI can get there on some cases. Lack of evidence gets them off every time. And they will never give you the police report or let you hear the 911 recordings.
Maybe they will also go in up at Rock Creek Park and check out the party pad that the married deputies like to meet their little girlfriends to on county time. Yep that camper has been a rocking good time for many.....And guesses what folks its UCSD property meaning we paid for it.
I love how Ron Arnold and Eddie Foster had to resign from their jobs to run for county offices and they got their jobs back when they weren’t elected. 911 didn’t even have the job opening posted, plus they didn’t even have the money for another employee. http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/News/article.php?id=93444
All I can say is I hope Kent Harris get what he deserves. Hopefully he won’t be like one of his many snitches and worms his way of it.

Sunshine78, I am one of the people that he tried to screw but he had no proof at all, because I didn't do nothing. I wonder if he will be at church this sunday? I know that he wont be in a county vehicle or will he? This county is so stupid and blind that he'll probably stay the sheriff until next election. He may even get enough votes to get sheriff when he runs again. I was talking to a couple of elderly people today and they said that they didn't believe that Kent did anything wrong. This is the way peoples minds work as an elderly person. They get a call each day asking if they are alright and if they need anything. Now, the only thing wrong with that is that almost all elderly, independent and proud citizen that the sheriffs office calls will say that they are fine even if they are about to die. With the elderly people having some attention makes them feel good and in turn they will vote for the person that they feel is giving them the attention they deserve. Now, guess what the percentage of the elderly voters make up? Oh, before you say that I don't know what I'm talking about, one of the elderly people that I spoke of is my mother. I just wonder if Greg Lynch had guts enough to put Kent's butt of the tax payers back and do the right thing by putting the crook out of there. We need to start with a new sheriff and all new deputies. Yes, all new deputies. They are all too snug and comfortable in their position they forget what they need to do or who the are working for (the people of Unicoi county). Clean house and get some deputies in there that can at least run 100 yards and not have a heart attack or stroke and can apprehend someone younger than their parents..........

We as citizens of Unicoi County may not know for sure where our sheriff department is headed, along with Mr. Harris. Now I have a few questions to ask of our citizens. Our county commissioners gave Mr. Harris some $800,000 for his budget, while wanting to cut other departments, are they one of his co-conspirator's? Do you think that he used threats, intimidation and harrassment on them as well to get what he wanted? I hope that the DA office and/or our commissioners will do the right thing that's best for the citizens of Unicoi County and be free of any and all thrests, intimidation and harrassments.

And he sends his goons like david walker and frankie rogers out to bust you for any possible thing. This town and MOST of the sheriff dept is a huge joke. Got a sheriff thats a bigger dopehead then anyone. I honestly believe he could kill a man cold blooded and this people would still support him. Its like they are brainwashed. Who else could have 10 felonies pending and not have to go to jail and at least post bail?? Thats messed up. He gets his picture taken and gets fingerprinted and send him on home and continue lettin him be sheriff. There is a couple good honest people in the sheriff dept but most of them are just as crooked and need to be charged too. Its time to clean house. If you dont have the right last name in Erwin then you pretty much screwed. The city cops are all decent and do their jobs like they supposed to but sheriff dept makes their own rules as they go. The worst thing about it all is he will prob get away with it all like the snake he is and be re elected again. Everyone of yall "supporters" need to wake up and open your eyes to wat is going on in this crap hole town. I give the TBI and the DA's office credit for going after him. dont let him get away with it.

I am in no way a Kent Harris supporter. I believe that he should have been arrested and made post bail, the same as I would have been if charged with 10 felonies.
I am offended by some of the comments regarding the deputies of the UCSD. Not everyone associated with UCSD is a crook or a dirty cop. I have a family member that is a deputy of this county and not one time has he ever gotten me out of any speeding ticket that I have ever gotten and he treats everyone the same. He even arrested his own brother for a DUI.
Just because our so called sheriff is a loser and is quilty of making bad decisions, not everyone in this county is crooked.
I am proud to be a resident of Unicoi County and believe that the citizens of this county need to make better choices when election time rolls around.

It is just my opinion that the County Commission that we elected to represent us should at least STOP PAYING this man. If he is found not guilty then he can collect his back pay. Or he could be put on Work Release and work out at Rock Creek Park like he had one of his State Prisoners working. Lets Get Him OFF THE PAYROLL.
