Veteran Cop Fired Amid Ongoing Probe | Memphis News

A 20-year veteran Covington police officer, Guarian Rushell, was fired after citizen complaints sparked an internal investigation into alleged misconduct between 2018 and 2020. The department claims he violated policy, but a criminal probe is ongoing, and his case has been referred to the state’s Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission for potential decertification. Chief Donna Turner emphasized the incident doesn’t reflect the department’s broader professionalism and pledged transparency.
