The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury discovered that Greene County’s expenditures exceeded its appropriations in various funds, including juvenile services. The county anticipated spending around $112,000 but instead spent $170,000. General Sessions Court Judge Kenneth Bailey Jr. said the fund went over in fiscal year 2013- 2014 because of extreme cases and housing more juveniles at the Johnson City Juvenile Detention Center for $189 per day.
