21-year THP veteran indicted on bribery charges in Greene County

A Tennessee Highway Patrol officer who manned a weigh station on Interstate 81 in Greene County has been indicted on bribery charges.

Court records say Ray Lee Stubblefield, Jr., 49, is also facing three conspiracy charges. State prosecutors said Stubblefield accepted bribes in exchange for referrals to truck repair businesses. He is scheduled for arraignment on January 10. A statement from THP Communications Director Wes Moster said Stubblefield was fired on Sept. 12 for gross misconduct following a 21-year career.
