Cannon County Sheriff’s Deputies paid a visit twice in the same day to a Jimtown Road residence in regards to cows being out on Burt Road recently. Those visits resulted in citations being written to the owner of the animals. It all started Sunday November 18th according to police reports when around 11 in the morning Cannon County Sheriff’s Deputy Steve McMillen was dispatched out to Burt Road after calls came into the sheriff’s office that two cows were roaming around loose on Burt Road. Deputy McMillen spoke with the owner of the cows, Todd Baxter and after discussion wrote a citation for cows at large. Apparently Mr. Baxter didn’t get the message as later that night around 7:30, Sgt Randy Neal was dispatched to the same residence for the same complaint. Sgt Neal wrote his citation based on the sheriff’s department receiving more than one call on the cows being in the roadway. According to police reports, this isn’t the first time that cows have roamed the road. Numerous incidents of cattle being uncontrolled in the roadway was cited as one of the reason Baxter was written up the first time. He is due to answer both charges in General Sessions Court on Tuesday January 8th
