Union County is 'Where my Heart is' for Sheriff Billy Breeding
Submitted by Shannon Carey on Tue, 12/26/2017 - 00:00For as long as he can remember, Union County Sheriff Billy Breeding has wanted to go into law enforcement.
Perhaps that's because his father made a career in law enforcement. When Breeding was growing up in Maynardville's Green Acres subdivision and later on Hines Creek Road, his dad was a law enforcement officer of many stripes, including the first salaried police officer for the city of Maynardville, an arson investigator, work for the Tennessee fire marshal, and a criminal investigator for the Union County Sheriff's Office.
