LOUDON CO. DETECTIVE DEMOTED AFTER OFFENSIVE VIDEOS POSTED ONLINE

A Loudon County detective has been demoted after he posted offensive videos online while on duty and in uniform. Authorities say former lieutenant Patrick Upton could be seen on a video posted to TikTok dancing along to songs in uniform with explicit lyrics and others that talked about beating women. Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider said the videos were “an extremely poor representation of the agency” and “unbecoming of any officer.” Upton was relieved of his supervisory position in the criminal investigations division and was demoted to the rank of detective sergeant.
