Chief of Staff for Jackson, TN mayor charged with stalking, electronic tracking

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Chief of Staff for the mayor of Jackson, Tenn. has been charged with electronic tracking of a motor vehicle and stalking following an investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

On Monday, a Madison County grand jury returned an indictment charging Roland Alexander “Alex” Reed with one count of electronic tracking of a motor vehicle and one count of stalking.

Reed turned himself into law enforcement on Wednesday and was booked into the Madison County Jail.

The arrest stemmed from an investigation by the TBI that determined that Reed was responsible for placing the tracking device on a vehicle without the owner’s consent and monitored it for a period of time.

The investigation began in September 2023 at the request of 26^th Judicial District Attorney General Jody Pickens. TBI agents were tasked with looking into the matter.

After the conclusion of the investigation, General Pickens recused his office and requested a special prosecutor be appointed to handle the matter.

As a result, D. Michael Dunavant and Meghan Fowler of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference were both appointed to represent the state.

Reed will remain in jail pending the setting of his bond by the court.
