Henry Co. deputy takes WBBJ crew for ride-along on winter roads

PARIS, Tenn. — WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News crews rode along with a Henry County deputy to see how the roadways in Paris are looking.

Henry County Patrol Sgt. Brian Davis says the roads are pretty clear after this winter weather.

He says the side roads have been in bad shape in Paris since Friday. The ice has gotten worse and may worsen overnight.

Davis says there has been an increase in calls of cars being stuck in the snow. Luckily, Tennessee Department of Transportation trucks are working to clear the roadways in Henry County

Sgt. Davis also shared some driving tips.

“If you don’t have to go anywhere, it’s definitely best to stay home,” Sgt. Davis said. “It’s very slick. You can’t stop on a dime. You can’t go very fast. You definitely have to be careful.”

Sgt. Davis says the Henry County Sheriff’s Office next year will get new Dodge Durangos with all-wheel drive for the officers.
