DICKSON COUNTY, Tenn. — A now-former Dickson County detective has been arrested after a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) probe revealed he allowed his underage child to drive a vehicle with another child as a passenger.
The investigation began on February 16th at the request of 23rd Judicial District Attorney General Ray Crouch. Special agents with the TBI looked into a complaint regarding a man who permitted his 13-year-old to operate a motor vehicle in both Dickson and Humphreys Counties.
That man was later identified as Douglas Kimbro (DOB 6/16/1983), who was employed at the time as a detective with the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office. According to investigators, Kimbro was off-duty during the incident and had his 9-year-old child in the car as well.
On May 8th, Kimbro was arrested and charged with two counts of Reckless Endangerment. He was booked into the Dickson County Jail with bond set at $1,000.
Authorities emphasized that the charges are accusations, and Kimbro is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
