CROCKETT COUNTY ATTORNEY SUSPENDED
On December 22, 2011, the Tennessee Supreme Court suspended the Tennessee law license of Shannon
A. Jones pursuant to Section 14 of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9. The Court suspended Mr. Jonesâ law
license in light of his plea to a serious crime, to wit: conspiracy to manufacture and possess with the intent to
distribute a controlled substance, in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1) and 21 U.S.C. 846.
The Supreme Court further ordered the Board of Professional Responsibility to institute a formal
proceeding to determine the extent of final discipline to be imposed as a result of the serious crimes. Mr. Jones
was ordered to fully comply with the provisions of Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 9, Section 18, which
requires, in part, the notification of all clients by registered or certified mail, all co-counsel, all opposing
counsel and opposing parties without counsel of the Supreme Courtâs order of suspension. Section 18 also
requires that Mr. Jones deliver to all clients any papers or property to which they are entitled.
This suspension shall remain in effect until it is dissolved or amended by order of the Supreme Court of
Tennessee.
