The informal subcommittee voted to decertify the Tullahoma Police Department officer listed on the agenda after investigators described a drug investigation that, investigators said, produced evidence connecting the officer’s phone number to a drug target’s extracted data.
Jason Maloney, identified in the hearing as an investigative sergeant, told the subcommittee investigators conducted a traffic stop, gained consent to search, and then seized phones that later produced a forensic extraction. Maloney said the extraction showed the officer's phone number and that investigators recovered suspected narcotics inside the vehicle; in the hearing he stated there were “roughly, I think it was 200 fentanyl pills” found inside the car. Maloney said he turned the investigative material over to the county district attorney’s office for criminal review.
A person who spoke for the record identified herself in the transcript as Maureen Renier and disputed knowingly engaging in drug transactions; she said she had custody ties with the drug target and said a single tramadol was given in a personal context with no money exchanged. The agenda packet listed the subject as Megan Elizabeth Grenier; the person who spoke used a different name in the hearing record, which the commission noted during questioning.
Commissioners pressed the speaker on use of NCIC/plate‑query protocols, whether queries were run while on duty and whether department policy was violated. After agency presentation and questioning, Commissioner Beverly moved to decertify the officer submitted by the Tullahoma Police Department; Commissioner Wright seconded the motion and the vote carried by voice vote.
Investigators stated the matter and forensic findings were provided to prosecutors; the commission’s administrative action here addresses certification and is separate from any criminal proceeding.
