SCAM ALERT!!
Please be aware of current fraudulent phone call attempts where unknown persons are portraying themselves as Clinton Police Officers and advising that there is an outstanding warrant (or bench warrant) for your arrest. Scam callers are directing persons they call to send money to satisfy a fee/cost for dismissal of the arrest warrant.
The Clinton Police Department and most other law enforcement agencies will not call you with this type of request. If you are concerned that someone is attempting to scam you in this manner, please call the Clinton Police Department at 865-457-3112 to verify the authenticity of the request.

Howell arrived to the business moments later and found the subject, identified as a Ricky Aslinger, slumped over in a vehicle. Sgt.

Mr Aslinger was detained for his safety and for further investigation of the situation. Sgt. Howell deployed his K9 partner Tonto on a search of the vehicle and received an indication from the K9. A subsequent search by the officers of the vehicle produced over four grams of methamphetamine in two separate packages as well as drug paraphernalia. Mr. Aslinger was placed under arrest and transported to the Anderson County Detention Facility with charges of public intoxication, possession of a schedule II narcotic for resale (x2), and possession of drug paraphernalia.

An unresponsive middle aged female victim was located in the residence immediately afterward and was determined to be deceased. The fire was extinguished by the Clinton Fire Department and then turned over to the Clinton Police Department Criminal Investigations Unit for investigation. Investigators of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Tennessee Medical Examiners Office responded as well to assist with the scene. The incident is pending further investigation.

On 11/06/2024 Officer Gideon Cobb responded to a motor vehicle accident in the 300 block of S. Charles Seivers Blvd. Once on-scene he made contact with one of the drivers, Joseph Boshears. Officer Cobb noticed Boshears slurring his words and appearing to be intoxicated. Suspecting that Boshears was under the influence of an illegal substance, Officer Cobb called for Officer Michael Wilson and K9 Sergeant Matthew Howell to assist him in the investigation. Officer Wilson, who holds a specialty certification in DUI investigations, conducted field sobriety tests on Boshears while Sergeant Howell deployed his K9 partner Tonto to conduct a sniff of the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed a clear plastic baggie in the center console with a white powder substance believed to be Fentanyl inside of it. The baggie contained 2.75 grams of the substance. This amount would have been lethal to many people. Boshears admitted to taking Fentanyl before the accident. Officer Cobb then placed Boshears under arrest and charged him with Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance and Driving Under the Influence.
These officers are to be commended for their tenacity in investigating a motor vehicle accident that ultimately led to removing more extremely dangerous drugs from our community!
