SWEETWATER - The Tennessee Highway Patrol fired a trooper Tuesday accused of taking money from a driver. Michael C. McGlothlan, 31, of Sweetwater had served as a trooper for less than a year, according to the state Department of Safety. He patrolled in Monroe County, part of the Knoxville district. McGlothlan's firing came a day after a driver claimed McGlothlan took cash from him during a traffic stop on Interstate 75 near Sweetwater, according to the Department of Safety. "An investigation determined that the complaint was factual," spokesman Mike Browning said in a press release. The agency has turned the case over to prosecutors in the 10th Judicial District, Browning said. McGlothlan won't be entitled to appeal his firing because he's served less than a year, Browning said.
