Grundy County Sheriff appoints new Chief Deputy

ALTAMONT, Tennessee (WDEF) – Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum has named a new Chief Deputy.

Larry Sims worked as a Coffee County corrections officer and a Monteagle Police officer before joining Grundy County in 2016.

The Sheriff says “I am confident in Chief Sims ability to help lead and guide this agency. He has the support of his peers and
will continue to serve our county well.”

He will officially replace Chief Deputy Tony Bean, who was just sentenced in Federal Court for Depravation of Rights over accusations of beating a prisoner while he was Chief of Police in Tracy City.
