A Nashville judge ruled on Monday that Rutherford County Sheriff Robert Arnold would be suspended without pay. A hearing was held last week in Chancery Court after a lawsuit was filed by 12 Rutherford County residents. The Chancellor heard the case because all of the county judges recused themselves from the case. According to WSMV, Arnold’s bond was revoked by a federal magistrate in late September after an alleged domestic incident against his wife on Labor Day. A federal judge ruled earlier this month that Arnold would remain jailed until his February 2017 trial date after a hearing was held. Last week, a 14-count indictment was handed down by a federal grand jury on a company, JailCigs, owned by Arnold and his uncle John Vanderveer who is also included in the lawsuit along with former administrative assistant chief deputy Joe Russell.
