GRAYSVILLE, Tenn. — For Lt. Erik Redden, Graysville’s interim police chief, ridding the city of two methamphetamine labs in two weeks is a fight he plans to continue.

Redden, who’s serving a 60-day trial period as chief, said he has “learned something every day” and plans “to get meth off the streets” if he’s appointed as full-time police chief this summer.

In April, former Chief Thomas Mahoney resigned after serving the city for nearly four years to accept a position at the Soddy-Daisy Police Department, Graysville Mayor Ted Doss said.

Doss said Mahoney had an ongoing struggle with his health.
