Kingsport Mayor Dennis Phillips and Attorney General Barry Staubus have asked the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to investigate Police Chief Gale Osborne. Claims of misconduct were made in an email that was sent to the mayor and several city leaders on Tuesday. The email accuses Osborne of using city resources and personnel for personal reasons. Osborne is quoted in a Times News article as saying he was following a judge's order to protect the inheritance of a juvenile who's mother had recently died. (jb)
