A new U.S. marshal has been confirmed for
East Tennessee.
Media outlets report he is David Jolley, a longtime law-enforcement
officer who has some experience as marshal. He served as U.S. marshal
for West Tennessee under President George W. Bush.
President Donald Trump nominated Jolley, and the Senate confirmed him
last week.
U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander said Jolley has a distinguished
law-enforcement career and will serve with integrity, and his
qualifications were also praised by U.S. Sen. Bob Corker.
