Proud of the work our officer put in on this to keep the community safe.

On Friday, March 27, 2026, Howard Poteete, a Career Offender, pled guilty to Violation of S*x Offender Registry, 3rd or Subsequent Offense, a Class E felony. Poteete was sentenced to the maximum sentence of 6 years in the Department of Corrections and will serve the first year of that sentence day for day and will be eligible for parole after the service of 60% of the 6-year sentence. Officer Fletcher Valentine of the Fairview Police Department began investigating Mr. Poteete following a tip made to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation that there was concern Poteete was allowed to be around a minor child. Officer Valentine’s investigation proved that a minor child had spent the night at a home where Mr. Poteete resided, in violation of the s*x offender registry rules. Senior Assistant District Attorney Mary Katharine Evins prosecuted the case on behalf of the State.
