Clerk Suspended Amid Fraud Charges

Tami Sawyer, General Sessions Court Clerk, faces serious legal trouble after being indicted on wire fraud, money laundering, and theft of federal funds—allegedly taking $44,000 in public funds for personal use. Suspended for 60 days, she must surrender her badge, keys, and computer access but retains her salary and benefits. Her attorney insists she can’t be removed until legal proceedings conclude. Judges voted to suspend her immediately after indictment, appointing former clerk Edward Stanton Jr. to cover duties. She’ll return to court June 30 for a critical status update where her defense will reveal whether she’ll plead or go to trial. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
