Investigation Ongoing Woodbury Police Chief Mooneyham On Administrative Leave Without Pay

An audit conducted by the Tennessee Department of Transportation over how grant money from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety was being used might cost Woodbury Police Chief Kevin Mooneyham his job.  TDOT uncovered something concerning how the money was spent.  The money from the grant was to go toward helping DUI enforcement.  The investigation has spread to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and is expected to take two to three weeks to complete.  In the meantime Mooneyham has been placed on administrative leave without pay.  Lowell Womack is the acting police chief in Mooneyham’s absence.
