The City of Adamsville, TN, which regularly celebrates former pro wrestler turned Sherrif Buford Pusser with an annual festival and houses a law enforcement museum in his name, issued the following:
The City of Adamsville acknowledges the recent findings of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation regarding Buford Pusser.
While this information is not what we had hoped to receive, the City remains committed to addressing these matters in a responsible and transparent manner.
Mayor Jackie Hamm, in collaboration with the Board of Commissioners, will carefully review the implications of these findings and determine the appropriate course of action with respect to the Buford Pusser Museum and other related matters. This review will occur in a public study session, followed by a public meeting, in order to ensure that all decisions are made openly and with full accountability.
The City of Adamsville values the input of its citizens and encourages community participation in this process. While the legacy of Buford Pusser has been a part of our identity, Adamsville is defined by much more.
