Henry County Constables Stripped of Powers

By Chris Taylor

Paris, TN – Henry County has stripped law enforcement powers from its five elected constables.

Sheriff Monte Belew tells the Paris Post Intelligencer the move should actually expand the constables' duties, using them for civil process work.
