A tragic Labor Day weekend in the water here in Rutherford County. Eighteen year old Smyrna High senior Matthew Grissom drowned near the Walter Hill Dam on the Stones River Monday. Randy White with Rutherford County EMS tells Channel 4 news he was swimming with friends when he became trapped in the underwater hydraulics of the dam...
White says he doesn't think alcohol was involved in the incident. The group of friends were swimming without lifejackets or other floatation devices.
You'll recall, 39-year old Harvie Butler of La Vergne died after a boat accident at Four Corners Marina just inside Davidson County over the weekend.
