The Rutherford Roundup

In Today’s Episode:

  • Smyrna firefighters quickly contained a residential structure fire on Poplar Wood Road near Stewart’s Creek Schools, preventing further spread and avoiding injuries, though chimney-related damage was significant. Officials remind homeowners to schedule annual fireplace inspections during cold weather.

  • A large houseboat fire at Elm Hill Marina on Percy Priest Lake damaged at least 13 vessels. Marine and dockside crews responded, deploying containment booms to limit environmental impact. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is investigating the cause.

  • Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Scrametti announced a multi-state settlement with pharmaceutical companies Lannett and Bosch over alleged price-fixing of generic drugs. Eligible consumers who purchased qualifying medications between 2009 and 2019 may be entitled to restitution.

  • Costco issued a recall of caramel-filled mini beignets sold in Tennessee due to a labeling error that may expose consumers to undeclared tree nuts. Customers are urged to return affected products for a full refund.

  • La Vergne will host a free Healthy Tennessee health fair on Saturday, February 21, offering a wide range of no-cost health screenings and wellness resources at the Grace Church Worship and Community Center.

  • The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office warns residents about scams involving impersonation of law enforcement officials, urging the public to verify calls and report suspicious activity.
