A former officer with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has entered a guilty plea for unauthorized personal use of state funds allocated for gasoline purchases after a series of discrepancies were identified in his use of a state-issued credit card. James Travis Buchanan, who served as a Wildlife Officer for the TWRA for 19 years in Morgan County, was scrutinized following an internal audit that started in February 2023 and revealed unusual fuel purchase patterns dating back to 2008. An ongoing investigation ultimately confirmed the misuse of public resources.
