Pet crematory owner investigated for dumping animals

Submitted by WBIR Web Staff on Tuesday, December 3rd, 11:34 pm

The owner of a pet crematorium is being investigated for the improper disposal of family pets.

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) was called in to investigate in September, after complaints that a number of dead animals were found in trenches on a property on Grouse Ridge Road in Morgan County. Some of the animals were buried, others were not. Elliot Pet Services, owned by Cameo Farr, is located on the property.

Improvements to Morgan Co. road increases safety, interstate access

Submitted by WBIR Web Staff on Monday, December 2nd, 4:34 pm

A major improvement project is now complete that will make it easier for some drivers to access Interstate 40.

TDOT celebrated the improvements to State Route 52 in Morgan County on Monday.

Crews improved a 2.3 mile section from Brewstertown Road to the Scott County line with 12-foot lanes, 12-foot shoulders and a new bridge.

Before the project, the road was winding and curving. Now, it's a straighter shot to I-40.

The new road also bypasses historic "Rugby." That keeps big trucks from going right through town.

Low Visibility in Campbell County an issue

Submitted by WBIR Web Staff on Wednesday, November 27th, 10:29 am

Moving north from Knox County to Campbell County, WBIR 10News reporter Jim Matheny is reporting not quite freezing temperatures. Snow is sticking on the grass but not the roads. Conditions have improved since this morning.

Be sure to drive carefully, especially on bridges, where the heat doesn't help melt and icy conditions might hit.
