SEVIERVILLE â A local woman is speaking out after back-to-back incidents including one where she says a sheriffâs deputy injured her wrist, followed by hate speech spray painted on her property and a neighboring drive.
Kimberly Jolie said a deputy broke her wrist after she had called 911 Tuesday, asking for help in getting construction workers to stop blocking the only road leading from her home. Wednesday morning, someone spray painted insults on her property and on neighboring property.
Jolie is a lesbian, and some of the slurs referred to her orientation while others said âDie.â
District Attorney General Jimmy Dunn confirmed Wednesday that TBI is investigating the incidents, but said he couldnât answer additional questions about it.
