A former police chief from Tennessee who was involved in a significant sexual misconduct scandal within his department was recently taken into custody and accused of kidnapping – just a month after facing charges of stalking.

Burrel “Chip” Davis, who was dismissed as La Vergne Police Chief in February 2023 following a scandal that rocked his department and led to the dismissal of five officers, was arrested on Jan. 29. According to an affidavit obtained by local ABC affiliate WKRN, Davis allegedly entered his estranged wife’s residence around 7 p.m. to confront her about a man she was seeing, while her daughters were also present. Murfreesboro Police stated in the affidavit that he purportedly confiscated the phones of every family member, preventing them from seeking help as the situation escalated.
