(WBIR-Greeneville) Two months into his first term as Greene County Sheriff, Pat Hankins said his department is already undergoing some significant changes.

"It takes a while to get used to," he said Wednesday. "I did feel like it was time for a change in Greene County."

A former Newport alderwoman who's already facing money laundering charges is now charged with perjury while she was running for reelection.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has indicted Kathy Holt. Investigators say Holt filed a petition for an order of protection in July. In that petition, she stated her address is on Hemlock Road which is not inside the Newport city limits.

(WBIR - Cocke County) Drivers who travel around Newport may have to deal with some lane closures in the coming weeks.

Starting Monday, road crews for TDOT will be repairing potholes along US25/US70. The repairs will take place between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

TDOT said the repairs should take about two weeks, weather permitting.
