Former Mt. Juliet Officer Indicted, Charged in TBI Misconduct Case

MT. JULIET – A former Mt. Juliet police officer faces a set of charges following an investigation by TBI special agents.

At the request of 15^th District Attorney General Jason Lawson, TBI agents began investigating the actions of Franklin Deriggi (DOB 2/26/1972) earlier this summer. During the investigation, agents determined Deriggi misused criminal justice data for unauthorized purposes. The department terminated Deriggi’s employment in early August.

On September 8^th, the Wilson County Grand Jury returned indictments, charging the Mt. Juliet man with 16 counts of Official Misconduct. Today, authorities booked him into the Wilson County Jail on $3,500 bond.
