Stephen Hatchett, who won a three-way race for district attorney for the 10th Judicial District in March, is asking the local chancery court to rule on whether he can occupy the office immediately. Hatchett says he should be allowed to do so since the March 5 primary election has been certified, Chattanoogan.com reports. Hatchett did not face Democratic opposition in the August election. Shari L. Tayloe, who was named to the post by Gov. Bill Lee after Steve Crump left, says she is not leaving until her term expires on Aug. 31. The district includes Bradley, McMinn, Monroe and Polk counties.
