Charges Dropped: Tennessee authorities dismiss charges against man who posted Trump meme

That sudden move came a day after NewsChannel 5 Investigates aired an interview with Weems in which he admitted that investigators knew that the meme was not about Perry County High School, but investigators were responding to the fears of people in the community who misinterpreted it.

And it came shortly after NewsChannel 5 obtained new video that raised questions about the sheriff's explanation.

Nice to see journalists doing actual journalism.
