Quorum court tables decision on sheriff department purchase of used vehicle after pursuits wipe out two vehicles
By Marty Bachman editor@dequeenbee.com

Sevier County Sheriff Robert Gentry asked the court for almost $12,000 for a used Dodge Durango the department wished to purchase after two of their vehicles were wrecked during pursuits of stolen vehicles.

“January 26 was a long day,” Gentry said, noting there had been a "barrage" of stolen vehicles in the county of late, one being a county-owned Ford F450 and the second a truck stolen from Baker’s Towing.

Gentry said that one wrecked department vehicle was a 2012 Dodge Charger, which was used as a backup vehicle and had exhausted its usefulness and was set to be auctioned in July. The other vehicle was a Dodge truck. He told the court that the insurance coverage of the two vehicles combined amounted to $23,263 and that he had secured a Dodge Durango with 15-20,000 miles on it from Gentry Chevrolet and needed the almost $12,000 to cover the difference between the insurance settlement money and the cost.
