TBI: Man charged with murder and arson in death of Robertson Co. deputy (update) [View all]

One man was arrested and charged Monday for the death of a Robertson County deputy who was found shot in her home over the weekend, according to officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

Officials stated that multiple agencies, including the TBI and the Smyrna Police Department, served a search warrant that led to the arrest of 27-year-old James Jackson Conn.

Police officials initially said they were in the midst of an “active response” on Odom Court and advised drivers to avoid the area for their “safety and the safety of personnel.” The situation has since been resolved, the TBI said.

Conn was charged with first-degree murder and one count of aggravated arson. As of Monday night, he was booked into the Robertson County Jail and being held without bond, according to officials with the TBI.

Doesn't say, but I'm still betting this was either an ex or wannabe BF. As for her being with the sheriff's dept for 4 years at such a young age, she likely started out at a desk job, possibly while attending criminal justice classes at the local community college (a 2 year course). This is not uncommon in TN.
