Knox County Cracking Down On Non-Paying Child Support Offenders

Police in Knox County are letting people who don’t pay child support know they will be facing jail time. Knox County Attorney Gilbert Holland said if everyone was ordered to pay child support, roughly 2.4 million dollars would be collected each year in that county alone. The Sheriff’s Department had a round-up yesterday and said 177 people in the county are wanted for non-support. Officials in the county said they are committed to bringing people with delinquent payments to jail.
