Charles Franklin Bailey JrA registered sex offender was arrested last week for violating his probation and threatening a bring flowers to a probation officer’s home.
Charles Franklin Bailey Jr., 39, got upset during his meeting at the Chattanooga Probation and Parole office on April 15, according to Hamilton County court records.
“If you’re going to take a charge out against me, I’m going to take a charge out against you for theft,” he told an officer, court records state.
But that’s not what scored him a “retaliation for past action” charge.
“Retaliation for past action” means a person harms or threatens to harm a witness, member of law enforcement, court clerk, or a family member of any such person, in retaliation.
