The bench trial in former Chief Deputy Anthony Glenn “Tony” Bean’s case was held in June, and the verdict signed by Judge Travis R. McDonough was filed Jan. 28, according to court documents.
“Bean was convicted of one count stemming from a 2017 incident and two counts stemming from a 2014 incident when he was chief of police in Tracy City,” Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum said Friday in an emailed statement.
Bean will remain in federal custody until his sentencing hearing June 24, Shrum said.
“This is not the outcome we hoped for, but I certainly respect the decision of the court,” Shrum said Friday in the statement.
