Deputy Discharges Gun In Store
A veteran deputy with the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office is back on the job – with a firearms refresher course completed – after he accidentally fired a shot inside a convenience store.
Cpl. Chris Huskey was demonstrating a Glock pistol to Deputy Adam Bohanan at Dunn’s Market on Nov. 23 when the weapon discharged, firing a bullet through a computer monitor and the wall of a walk-in freezer, where it lodged in a pack of frozen bologna. No one else was in the store at the time and neither officer was hurt, according to The Mountain Press
Huskey was suspended for 18 hours and had to take a weapons safety course. He and Bohanan split the cost of replacing the video monitor.
