According to WKRN a Franklin police officer was fired and arrested for harassment after he reportedly made death threats to someone via text message and voicemail.

Phillip Wise, an eight-year veteran, was an officer in Franklin from sometime in 2008 until last week.

Wise, 34, was arrested on June 19 and fired just days later on June 22 after he allegedly made the threats this past March.

According to a report by the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, the male victim, received two text messages on March 11.

One of the texts he received said, “I’m going to kill you b****. Just know your toothless a** is on very little time, you f*****.”

The second read, “It don’t’ matter to me, you and that dirty a** dog’s on borrowed time, b****.”

According to the report, the man also received two threatening voicemails threatening his life and his dog’s. All four alleged threats were taken into evidence.

The sheriff’s office report indicates the victim was asked who he thought was doing it, and he replied that it was Officer Wise. When asked why, the victim reportedly said because the officer’s girlfriend lives with him.
