Virgil Gammon, a former deputy chief in Rutherford County, filed a federal lawsuit Friday against the county and Sheriff Robert Arnold asking for reinstatement, along with compensatory and punitive damages. Gammon in the suit says he was terminated in September 2015 because of his “whistleblower activities” with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation regarding the sheriff’s activities. Arnold says Gammon was let go because “his services were no longer needed,” the Daily News Journal reports.
