NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A city manager out of Lewisburg has been charged with aggravated burglary, theft of property and stalking.

Following an investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, agents learned that Roy Haislip repeatedly contacted a city employee despite being asked to stop.

Further investigation found he also broke into the victim’s home and took some personal items belonging to the victim.

According to the TBI, agents began investigating Haislip back in May.

A Marshall County Grand Jury indicted him this week on charges including aggravated burglary, theft and stalking. He was booked into the Marshall County Jail yesterday and records show he was released just a few hours later.

The City of Lewisburg released a statement saying this appears to be a personal matter outside of his duties as city manager. They are taking all necessary steps to maintain the integrity of our government and to support the community.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
