The TBI is investigating Hamilton County District Attorney candidate, Coty Wamp, at the request of current DA Neal Pinkston, who is accusing his political rival of witness tampering. According to WRCB, Pinkston submitted the request on Jan. 6, alleging Wamp had participated in obstruction of justice after a shooting in Soddy Daisy two days prior. After a suspect was apprehended, the request says Wamp told police they had the wrong suspect in custody. It states the victims recanted their original story after interactions with Wamp. Wamp, who is legal counsel for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, told the Times Free Press she was “helping victims communicate” with the police department. She will face off against Pinkston in the Republican primary in May.
