Tennessee sex-romp cop Maegan Hall lands a surprising new gig: report
A 29-year-old married Tennessee cop whose wild sexcapades with a half dozen male officers in her stationhouse made national headlines, is now a low-key pharmacy technician, a report said.
Maegan Hall, the saucy one-time La Vergne Police Department gumshoe, was spotted walking her pooch while wearing scrubs with a Tennessee Department of Health patch, according to a report by The Daily Mail.
Now out of the limelight, Hall still lives in the $275,000 three-bedroom house in Manchester she purchased with her 31-year-old husband, Jedidiah, before she was fired, the outlet reported.
It’s unclear if the couple is still together, but the controversial ex-cop is living large after landing a $500,000 settlement from La Vergne. Hall had claimed in a lawsuit that she was groomed by the men in the police department to be a veritable sex toy for the ranks.
According to the Mail, Hall was licensed to work as a pharmacy tech in 2018 before she joined the force — with her law enforcement career brought to an abrupt halt when the sex scandal broke in 2023.
An internal investigation by city officials found that Hall had an ongoing affair with one of the department’s sergeants and was tied to trysts with other cops, including a threesome with one officer and his wife and a romp during a “Girls Gone Wild” themed hot tub party.
The probe found that some of the sexual encounters took place on the job and on police property.
La Vergne Police Chief Burrel Davis, who was not sexually involved with Hall, was fired over the scandal because he was aware and took part in locker-room-like ribbing over the hook-ups.
Hall, meanwhile, hired a lawyer and sued the city, the department and several higher-ups, speaking out about her raunchy behavior for the first time — but has remained mum about it since.
“I know what most people are saying,” Hall said during a March 2023 television interview. “You know, ‘You could’ve said no.’ I get it. But my response to them is ‘I did say no, and he wouldn’t take it for an answer.’ Eventually, I gave in from pressure.”
Meanwhile, the Mail says Hall and her college sweetheart husband still co-own the house — and noted that there were still two cars parked in the driveway.

Tennessee State men’s hockey cancels 2026-27 inaugural season for second straight year
Tennessee State men’s hockey has once again canceled its inaugural season.
The first ever ice hockey team at an historically Black, public university was expected to begin play in 2025-26, but the season was canceled due to a fundraising shortfall. Now, the team has canceled its 2026-27 season according to a source with knowledge of the situation who wished to remain anonymous because the news is not public.
The Tennessean reached out to Tennessee State president Dwayne Tucker, who decline to comment on the situation.
The Tennessee State’s men’s hockey website does not have a schedule, roster, or any team events listed on its website. The site’s most recent update was July 10 of last year, an announcement about the 2025-26 season cancellation. Requests for additional information about the hockey team have gone unanswered.
This delay in the start of the men’s hockey team comes three years after the team’s inception was announced at Bridgestone Arena ahead of the 2023 NHL Draft. The Nashville Predators and NHL were instrumental in bringing a team to Tennessee State, and a representative with the Predators confirmed that support is ongoing.
While the 2025-26 cancellation followed unrest about the school’s financial situation, it’s unclear if this year’s cancellation is for the same reason or if its related to the school’s recent turmoil in the athletic department.
In May, six coaches gave a vote of no confidence for Tennessee State’s athletic director Mikki Allen. A letter to Dwayne Tucker on May 29 expressed concern about the “current direction, leadership, communication, and operational management of the athletic department” under Allen.
Men’s hockey coach Duante Abercrombie was not among the six coaches mentioned in the letter.
