White County Sheriff Neal Walden said Friday afternoon that his office is recommending charges be dropped against a grieving father who tried to erect safety measures at his daughter’s wreck site. “Based on the totality of the circumstances, my recommendation probably is going to be to either nolle prosequi or dismiss the cases,” Walden said. Shannon Hamilton was arrested by White County Sheriff’s Office deputies Sunday after bringing building materials to the Gene Nix Road bridge where Cecily Mcree Hamilton, 16, and driver Taylor Scott Swing, 18, both of Cleveland, died.
