Former Claiborne Co. sheriff's deputy pleads guilty to misdemeanor reckless endangerment charge

Noah Arnwine will serve an 11 month, 28 day sentence of unsupervised probation authorities said he played "Russian Roulette" with his revolver in Nov. 2018.

CLAIBORNE COUNTY, Tenn. — Former Claiborne County Sheriff’s Deputy Noah Arnwine turned himself in to the Loudon County Jail and plead guilty to a misdemeanor reckless endangerment charge on Thursday. 

A warrant was issued for his arrest after officials said Arnwine played "Russian Roulette" with his .38-caliber revolver back in 2018. 

The former sheriff's deputy fired through a patrol car windshield while riding through Loudon County as a passenger on I-75 in November 2018, according to a sheriff's office investigation. 

The incident happened near Philadelphia, Tennessee, at 3:58 p.m. on Nov. 2, 2018, according to the sheriff's office.

He was later fired by the department for "insubordination." 

Officials say Arnwine turned himself in to the Loudon County Jail on a felony reckless endangerment warrant, which was taken out by TBI as a result of their investigation into the November 2018 incident.

Attorney Wesley Stone represented Arnwine at the hearing on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor reckless endangerment.

Arnwine will now serve an 11 month, 28 day sentence of unsupervised probation.
