    Metro councilmember calls out dismissed traffic citation dockets in Davidson County

    Metro Councilmember Courtney Johnston criticized the dismissal of three traffic citation dockets in Davidson County, stating the dismissals stem from Metro Legal no longer staffing the court sessions.

She urged Metro Legal and Judge Robin Kimbrough Hayes to resolve the issue to prevent further dismissals.
