A sergeant with the Ringgold Police Department ffired last week has  been linked to an incident between an FBI agent, the estranged wife of a Ringgold millionaire. 

In late October 2012, Sgt. Tom Evans allegedly drove to the Acoustic Cafe to check on a report of a drunken driver. There he reportedly found FBI Special Agent Ken Hillman with Angela Russell, the estranged wife of millionaire, and Ringgold businessman Emerson Russell, and their daughter Katherine. The three were trying to drive away from the nightspot on RBC Drive. 

Records indicate at least one of the three had been refused drinks after dancing and weaving through the live music cafe making a scene, and they all appeared drunk.  

Evans reportedly left his post in Ringgold and drove the three out of state to Chattanooga. According to a Ringgold Police Department internal investigation, when Katherine Russell needed a ride back to Ringgold, she said Evans requested that she flash her breasts. 

Ringgold Police Chief Dan Bilbrey said Evans was not investigated for doing a favor for an FBI agent, but for breaking departmental policy and leaving his post.  

Hillman, the FBI agent, who leads the Northwest Georgia Crimes Against Children Task Force, reportedly is under investigation himself by the FBI.
