An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment of a former Sullivan County deputy court clerk on felony charges in northeast Tennessee.
According to the TBI, agents determined Valerie L. Greene, while working as a deputy court clerk, used her position on two different occasions to unlawfully access electronic court records in an effort to seal documents related to her own criminal history.
On October 9th, the Sullivan County Grand Jury returned a 10-count indictment, charging Greene with two counts of Tampering with Governmental Records, two counts of Violation of the Tennessee Personal and Commercial Computer Act of 2003, and six counts of Official Misconduct. On Monday (10/14/2024), she surrendered to agents at the Sullivan County Jail, where she was booked on a $5,000 bond.
The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law.
