Dad Takes Over Council Meeting to Call Out Child Predator Cop For Grooming His Daughter

Hohenwald captain and Lewis County Commissioner Earl Taylor, a career officer and grandfather, was called out at a County Commission committee meeting by an angry parent.

Shane Blackwood addressed the county commission in March of this year claiming he was there to speak about "Garbage." That "Garbage" involved calling out an alleged pedophile cop for attempted grooming of his daughter.

In a riveting five minute speech, Mr. Blackwood said his worst fears had come true.

He said "The right thing to try to to as a father" was to return forward with allegations Captain Taylor had sent inappropriate text messages to his daughter.

Blackwood explained his daughter was forced by her local highschool to get community service credits so as to graduate and promptly volunteered to serve the town , and therefore the county "To attempt to get the hours to graduate".

Her go after community service hours led her to volunteer as a ride-along with Captain Taylor within the Hohenwald PD while she was still in class .

The angry parent said that encounter led to a series of text messages which one might say were flirtatious in nature which were intercepted by other adults who were in her presence.

It was explained to Blackwood's daughter that Captain Taylor was a "Creeper" and to ignore the messages.

Although none of the messages were explicit in nature it had been clear to the oldsters involved the policeman was grooming his daughter for other reasons.

The Captain allegedly texted her subsequent day to ask what she would be doing that day but she was advised she shouldn't be talking with the "Dirty old man".

Blackwood addressed Taylor directly, who was seated as a commissioner within the room.

"I believe you was a captain wasn't you, Earl." He then displayed the Facebook Messenger profile of the acting policeman and sitting commissioner.

He explained he would do "Everything" in his power to let the town know "Who you're and what you're ."

Blackwood said he wanted the "Human garbage" hauled out of the town and volunteered to assist within the matter.

To whom it's going to concern, it's with great regret that I render this letter of resignation.

I have loved serving my community as a commissioner but I cannot do so in an efficient manner, therefore i will be able to not be representing the 4th district of Lewis County as a commissioner.

The action was supposedly directly associated with Blackwood exposing Taylor as a possible predator, having been caught grooming his daughter and using his badge to try to to so.

It is unclear if Taylor committed any crimes when he was accused by Blackwood of being inappropriate together with his daughter.

It has been our experience here at Police the Police that predators rarely have only one victim.

Anyone with knowledge of criminality involving Taylor should approach the Tennessee State Bureau of Investigations with their claims.

Also worth noting was a press release by Blackwood Taylor was attempting to function a youth pastor at his church.
