After breaking his ankle, Sheriff Kent Harris has been taken to the emergency room after falling near Rock Creek Park.
The incident occured around 10:30 Wednesday morning as he and deputies were searching for marijuana plants in the Rock Creek community. The sheriff fell and broke his right ankle.
The sheriff and deputy were about 1 1/2 to 2 miles east of Rock Creek Park.
To retrieve the sheriff, emergency personnel were dispatched to carry Harris out of the woods and into a ProMed ambulance. He was then taken to the field behind Rock Creek Church of Christ, where a Wings Air Rescue helicopter awaited.
Instead of using the helicopter, the ProMed ambulance took Harris to Johnson City Medical Center.
The Erwin Police Department and Unicoi County Sheriff’s Department assisted in the rescue.

Fuck cops. Quit your job while you're still alive. War on "drugs" means people will fight back, example= Mexican "Mafia". You steal from people what the fuck you expect?

Ya true enough cops have their place within our society.
However. Rather than solve serious crime-8000 missing children a year comes to mind. They thump their chests at a few pound bust, and build it up as if they have just caught an international importer. Then use said bust as reason to rob the treasury for incresaed funding.
A total self-serving grab for power and $$$. Mostly power.
That does not, and never will stem the flow of drugs into the US.
