Animal Control officers are being accused of failing to rescue neglected animals in time. Tonight one dog is dead and several others are missing. Rutherford County Animal Control officers say they can't comment on the ongoing investigation, but Eagleville residents say officers should have acted sooner. On Tuesday, Animal Control taped a note to the door of a home citing Tim Hazelwood for Animal Cruelty. They found a beagle near death and 3 other dogs severely neglected. When they returned Wednesday the dogs were gone. Neighbors who didn't want to be identified say they had complained for months and officers waited too late to act.
"I know it's the owner's responsibility, but if you keep calling animal control and they don't want to do nothing either, it's just as much their fault as the owner," says a neighbor.
Records show Animal Control had been investigating animal neglect problems on the property since early December, and the dogs were getting progressively worse. Officials believe Tim Hazelwood may have taken the dogs to a relative's home in Williamson County. Rutherford County Mayor Earnest Burgess says he's spoken with Animal Control and is confident the owner will be held accountable.

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
