Hamilton County District Attorney General Neal Pinkston recently was honored by the Tennessee chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) at its annual Night of Remembrance and Awards Ceremony. Pinkston received the group’s 2021 East Tennessee Excellence Award, Chattanoogan.com reports. Pinkston said he was humbled and honored to receive the award, which he said would not have been possible without the assistance of the Chattanooga Police Department and its Traffic Unit. Given that, Pinkston said he would dedicate the award to the department and the traffic unit in memory of officer Nicholas Galinger, who was killed in 2021 by an intoxicated driver.
