MADISON COUNTY – An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the indictment of a former Madison County deputy.
In May 2021, at the request of 26th Judicial District Attorney General Jody Pickens, TBI agents began investigating an allegation involving Edward James Vince (DOB: 10/20/63). During the course of the investigation, agents determined that Vince, while serving as a detention specialist at the Madison County Jail, assaulted an inmate.
