SCDAG supports new 'Bikers 4 Change' campaign
 DA Mulroy and ADA and Community Affairs Director Tracye Jones pictured with “Preacha” Clark Chambers of “Bikers 4 Change.” Mr. Chambers is promoting a campaign to raise awareness of motorcyclist safety --especially, making sure auto drivers don't collide with motorcycles – within the state of Tennessee through the “Look Twice Save a Life” program.
Soon, Tennessee will have a specialty license plate to assist in getting the word out to promote motorcycle awareness. DA Mulroy will cooperate by helping them make the public aware that there are serious penalties for reckless driving and vehicular homicide, and that our office will vigorously prosecute such offenses, especially when death or serious injury results.

"During his initial court proceeding, the state presented a compelling case, urging the judge to revoke the defendant’s bail on the 2022 case and increase the bond on the attempted murder charge involving the police officer from $75,000 to $500,000.
The judge concurred with the state’s argument, resulting in the complete revocation of Johnson’s bond in the 2022 case and a substantial increase in bond for the new charges."
