Add to My HeroesMilton Harvie Stephens
Sheriff Milton Stephens was shot and killed by two horse thieves he had arrested and who he was taking to jail. The two had been arrested in Nolensville and were held there until the arrival of Sheriff Stephens.
The sheriff and the two men left Nolensville to return to the jail in Franklin but never arrived. Sheriff Stephens' body was found on the Wilson Pike the next morning suffering from gunshot wounds. It is believed that the suspects disarmed Sheriff Stephens of his pistol and rifle and shot him. They then stole the weapons and buggy.
Sheriff Stephens had been elected to the position the previous year.
