  • Tuesday, March 5, 2024

An investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has resulted in the arrest of a former Cleveland police officer and current airport police officer. 

On Monday, at the request of 10th District Attorney Shari Tayloe, TBI agents began investigating reports of threats that were made against current members of the Cleveland Police Department.

During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that Taylor Ryans, 28, made the threats and false reports, and then drove to the Cleveland Police Department. She left that location and was ultimately located in Chattanooga, where she was transported to a local hospital.

Upon her release from the hospital Monday evening, Ms. Ryans was arrested. She is charged with false report, and was booked into the Bradley County Jail, where she is being held with no bond.
