Knox County District Attorney Charme Allen will not ask the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) to examine the Knox County Sheriff’s Office’s handling of a 2022 crash that killed a teenager. The family of Conor Dolin, who died in a single-vehicle wreck, requested an independent review to determine why no charges were filed against the 15-year-old unlicensed driver. Allen said she found no evidence of criminal intent in the sheriff’s investigation, which was marred by missing evidence, a lost crash report and deleted body camera footage, according to Knox News. The DA’s office twice declined to charge the unlicensed driver, citing an incomplete investigation. Allen noted that while her office will not request an inquiry, the TBI could open one on its own.
