In February, the second-term sheriff announced he'd been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Knox County Sheriff Tom Spangler told WBIR it was his understanding the deputies were "alert and talking."
Last year, Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs announced deputies would start at $50,000. This year, Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon said officers will start at $56,000.
Several board members of Knoxville's Family Justice Center have stepped down, including its president, vice president, treasurer and secretary.
It is believed to be the first conviction since the Tennessee General Assembly increased penalties to quash protests following George Floyd's death.
