Rhea County Courts have been disrupted because of coronavirus concerns, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. The courthouse was shut down late last week and General Sessions and Juvenile Judge J. Shannon Garrison has not been in court this week due to unspecified coronavirus concerns, 12th Judicial District Attorney General Mike Taylor told the newspaper. Prosecutors won't staff General Sessions Court until Nov. 10 to make sure at least 14 days have passed since the closure, Taylor said.
