Here’s a look at the top Clarksville news this week, including the Gigolos controversy at the School Board, a gun found at an elementary, and nuclear power for Fort Campbell.
During the early morning hours of Saturday, Nov. 22, a man was pronounced dead after police found him lying in a ditch near Walker Street, in what appeared to be a hit and run.
This week, a new School Board was sworn in, then resigned, then withdrew her resignation over the revelation that she appeared in an episode of Showtime’s Gigolos. And it all started because political parties have taken over the Montgomery County Commission and School Board.
After new Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board member Teresa Crosslin withdrew her resignation, the question has been whether her resignation could be withdrawn, or if she would be allowed to remain a School Board member.
At about 3:42 p.m., multiple vehicles on the 101st near the West Fork bridge, according to Clarksville Police.
One day after resigning from the School Board, Teresa Crosslin has now withdrawn her resignation. She also confirmed that she appeared in a Showtime episode of “Gigolos,” which is what prompted the resignation.
Clarksville forecast: Heavy rain and a few thunderstorms will move through early Friday before skies gradually clear over the weekend.
Fort Campbell has been selected as one of the nine Army instillations for a microreactor power plant in conjunction with the Janus Program.
