A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper has resigned for failing to turn in traffic tickets. The THP said 32-year-old Charlene Green, who patrolled Claiborne County, quit Wednesday to avoid being fired. The agency had placed Green on leave September 26th pending an internal investigation following a complaint she had not turned in traffic tickets to local courts for prosecution. According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, Green had worked for the state Department of Safety since January 2004.
