A former Jasper, Tennessee, police officer was indicted on charges of driving under the influence and possession of a handgun while intoxicated, according to a news release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Lillian Michele Lockhart, 29, reported for duty intoxicated July 26 and proceeded to respond to calls for service in her police vehicle, according to the release.
TBI on July 29 began an investigation into allegations of misconduct, and the Marion County grand jury returned an indictment Oct. 1. Lockhart turned herself into the Marion County Jail last week and was booked on a $5,000 bond.
