The Center Point Fire Department has issued a response to the recent Tennessee Comptroller’s report, which revealed the indictment of Bradley Lee. The report, released last week, detailed the discovery of potential fraudulent fuel charges on the department’s account in early 2023. In response, an immediate investigation was launched, leading to the identification of Bradley Lee. Subsequently, the department held discussions with Lee, who agreed to make restitution.
As a result of these findings, Lee’s role within the department was altered to a probationary status, with restrictions placed on his involvement in the department’s finances. Additionally, Lee voluntarily reduced his participation in the department pending the state’s investigation. However, on Friday, Lee made the decision to resign from his position at the Center Point Fire Department.
