Millersville Tennessee Police Department now the focus of a Tennessee Bureau of investigation, NewsChannel 5 Investigates has uncovered new questions about stories conspiracy cop Shawn Taylor tells about himself. –Nashville Tennessee reporting

Stories That Taylor Tells About The Jobs He Has Held In The Past, Stories About Retaliation He Claims To Have Faced And Stories That Raise More Questions About Whether Taylor Should Have A Gun And A Badge. Shawn Taylor Has Left A Trail Of Questions Throughout His Career.

–His Facebook page claims he once worked at the Williamson County Sheriff's Department.

The agency says it has no record of him.

–Taylor claimed he worked at the Hickman County Sheriff's Department as "deputy sheriff" and "chief jail administrator."

Hickman County officials say he was "only a correctional officer."

–Taylor claims to have had a near-spotless disciplinary history.

"I mean, literally, I was wrote up one time in my entire 25-year career and given a two-day suspension for a pursuit that went from location to downtown Nashville because it got caught on Sky 5 traffic — and it ended up being some boys that had carjacked some people."

In fact, records show Taylor nearly got fired from the Columbia Police Department in 2009, following a complaint by a woman he was pursuing while he was married.

The woman claimed he "continued to call and send her text messages" over her objections, even calling her an "n....r lover" because she was friends with an African-American officer.

Investigators concluded he was guilty of harassment, stalking and criminal trespassing.

–One of his favorites stems from a few months when he worked for a tiny police department in Saltillo, Tennessee — just across the Tennessee River in West Tennessee.

"Literally had somebody show up to my house, warn me. Literally, a week later to the day, I was involved in a head-on collision."

There, Taylor claims he got so close to the truth about the conspiracies he had been investigating that, as he describes it, someone decided to take him out.

"I was literally warned several times and, within a week of being warned one time, I was hit head-on in a car crash and survived that."

But NewsChannel 5 Investigates dug up the accident report from that crash, and it showed that, instead of being a deliberate hit, the other driver "ran a stop sign" and "both vehicles swerved to avoid each other" before colliding.

And Taylor did not show any show any signs of incapacitating injuries, according to the report.

In which I give myself the NYTimes "By The Book" quiz (that absolutely no one requested):

What books are on your night stand? Terrence McNally "Selected Works," Mark Harris's bio of "Mike Nichols," James Lapine's "Putting It Together," Shakespeare's "As You Like It," and Jonathan Hickman's "Fantastic Four: The Complete Collection."

What's the last great book you read? Andrew Holleran's "Dancer From The Dance."

Are there any classic novels that you only recently read for the first time? Homer's "The Odyssey" in 2018.

Describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how). Probably a situation like the time I read "A Moveable Feast" on the beach in Hawaii. In the sand, by the sea, with my love, on vacation, covered with sunscreen, and under a big umbrella.

What's your favorite book no one else has heard of? Most things I read have already been heard of by lots of people, unless it's an unpublished manuscript from a friend. I guess the most unheard of favorite though has been "Beautiful Shadow: A Life of Patricia Highsmith" by Andrew Wilson.

Which writers working today do you admire the most? Obviously Tony Kushner, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Stephen King (sometimes), Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Andrew Holleran, Alice Oseman, Michael R. Jackson, Will Arbery, Edmund White, Keith Bunin, Kazuo Ishiguro, etc.

Have you ever written a fan letter to an author? Yes, I wrote a raving fan letter to the author of the excellent biography "Tom: The Unknown Tennessee Williams" and also to the author of "Will In The World." Both authors wrote back to me. Sadly Lyle Leverich passed away before he could finish the second volume of his Williams biographies, but that task was taken over by John Lahr, who produced one of my favorite books about the theater: "Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh." I've not written to Mr. Lahr though.  

What do you read when you're working on a book? And what kind of reading do you avoid while writing? Since I don't write book-books, this probably doesn't apply. Although, I am reminded of Tony Kushner's warning to playwrights to avoid reading Shakespeare when you're working on a play because you'll find yourself very discouraging by comparison.

What's the last book you read that made you laugh? The one that made me laugh the most was John Kennedy Toole's "A Confederacy of Dunces." When I got to the climax of that book I literally threw the thing down and laughed so hard I was crying. It's not a book for everyone though, because the protagonist is completely unlikeable.

The last book you read that made you cry? "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison

The last book you read that made you furious? "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison

Have you ever changed your opinion of a book based on information about the author, or anything else? Well, after I bought the well-reviewed biography of Philip Roth last year all those stories about the despicable behavior of the biographer came out. By the time the book arrived, I'd decided I didn't want to read it. It's still on the shelf, in case I change my mind, but as of now I'm not interested in what they have to say.

What's the most interesting thing you learned from a book recently? The fact, from Bart Ehrman's "Misquoting Jesus," that the woman taken in adultery story in the Bible, which gave us the line "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," wasn't in the earliest versions of the manuscript and was added to the text by later scribes. Also, most interesting of all time is: everything in the pages of "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. That book changed my life.

Do you distinguish between "commercial" and "literary" ficiton? Where's that line for you? No.

How do you organize your books? Barely. I have a shelf for plays, a shelf for biographies, a shelf for comics. Then everything else goes just where it happens to fit, including in stacks of books on the floor.

What book might people be surprised to find on your shelves? "The Five Little Peppers And How They Grew."

What's the best book you've ever received as a gift? "Less" by Andrew Sean Greer (from my writer friend Kathleen)

What kind of reader were you as a child? Which childhood books and authors stick with you most? As a child I read whatever was assigned at school. I still don't know why we had to read "Silas Marner." But mostly my reading diet consisted of comic books and the World Book Encyclopedia. Those little paperback books we'd receive occasionally at school were fun. I once got a novelization of "Planet of the Apes" from that program that I found very entertaining. So, Stan Lee is probably my biggest influence. (And I got to meet him once at my office.)

You're organizing a literary dinner party. Which three writers, dead or alive, do you invite? Tennessee Williams, Tony Kushner, and James Baldwin.

Disappointing, overrated, just not good: What book did you feel as if you were supposed to like, and didn't? Do you remember hte last book you put down without finishing? My Facebook friends helped me decide this one: Stephen King's "Fairy Tale." It's so dull I had to put it down without finishing it. Very disappointed. (I may still pick it up again someday, just because I hate leaving things unfinished out there.)

Whom would you want to write your life story? No one, because it would be terribly boring and I wouldn't want to bore any readers.

What do you plan to read next? That biography of Mike Nichols that I keep putting off and putting off. 

The End (for anyone who made it this far)
