## Resource

A Gallatin police officer, Kasim Wayne Barnes, has been terminated after being arrested on June 13 for six counts of sexual exploitation of a minor via electronic means and one count of soliciting a minor for aggravated statutory rape. Placed on unpaid leave following his arrest, Barnes was officially fired by Chief Don Bandy effective June 15. His first court appearance is set for June 29 at 10 a.m. in Sumner County General Sessions Court. The case underscores the gravity of betrayal when public trust is shattered by such serious allegations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
