WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — A former Wilson County School Board member who resigned in December following multiple indecent exposure allegations has pleaded guilty to two charges.
Court records show that last week, Donnell Self pleaded guilty in two cases, while another case was resolved through judicial diversion. Several additional charges were dismissed.
The cases stemmed from an investigation into allegations that Self exposed himself at a chicken restaurant in Lebanon. Investigators previously said additional victims came forward during the investigation.
Self’s attorney, Frank Lannom, said the plea agreement resolved all of the cases against him.
“Two pleas of guilty and one under Judicial Diversion,” Lannom said in a statement. “The agreement was a global agreement and Mr. Self accepted responsibility for all of the counts brought against him.”
Court records show Self was ordered to serve 180 days in the county jail, attend one 12-step meeting each week and stay away from two Lebanon businesses where he was accused of exposing himself. If he successfully completes the judicial diversion requirements, one of the indecent exposure charges could ultimately be removed from his record.
Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
