I just stumbled across this. I hardly ever watch local mainstream news.

"According to the warrant, Ownby 'was observed with another male engaging in oral sex with one another.'"

From Ownby's Knox Co. Commissioner page:

"Commissioner Ownby is a man with a blue collar initiative. He believes that hard work is the root to success, and credits his grandparents with instilling the morals and values that he carries with him today.

Guided by the United States Constitution and strong religious beliefs [some kind of religion!], Commissioner Ownby wants to serve the 4th District and Knox County, to ensure the citizens a voice in their local government. He wants to bring back a conservative fiscal approach and make certain the taxpayers’ money is wisely spent."
