(TENNESSEE) Less than four months ago, data from the TBI (Tennessee Bureau of Identification) showed that the Volunteer State is tops in the nation at reducing sex trafficking. The TBI and tri-cities police agencies operated an undercover investigation aimed at addressing human trafficking in Northeast Tennessee. The two-day operation began last Thursday (3/9/2023). In addition, 55-miles south of there, the TBI arrested the Greenville Police Assistant Chief Stephen Hix .
The TBI said Assistant Chief Stephen Hixson turned himself in after a grand jury indicted him for assaulting his stepdaughter during an argument at their home.
