Former Tullahoma Alderman Jenna Amacher was recently charged with a sealed indictment on five charges. Bond was set at a $10,000 blanket amount.

According to Attorney General Craig Northcott, Amacher submitted a petition to the Coffee County Elections Commission to qualify to run Coffee County Clerk.

“In so doing, she asserted that she lived at that time and for at least the year prior at 1744 Ledford Mill Road, Tullahoma, Tennessee,” Northcott said in a release issued Thursday.  “She signed the documents under the penalty of perjury verifying this as her place of residence.”

Northcott said that in response to several citizen complaints he initiated an investigation into Amacher’s aactual residence.

“Based upon that investigation, it has been determined that there is not now nor has there ever been any inhabitable home on the property located at 1744 Ledford Mill Road, Tullahoma, Tennessee,” he said.  

Additional investigation revealed that Amacher used 1744 Leford Mill Road, Tullahoma, Tennessee as her address to register to vote and for her driver’s license. Further, Amacher voted in the May 2026 primary in Coffee County. In that process, she signed multiple documents under the penalty of perjury affirming that she resides at 1744 Ledford Mill Road, Tullahoma, Tennessee.

The evidence collected from the investigation was presented to the Coffee County grand jury during its June 2026 term.  

The grand jury returned indictments for the arrest and prosecution of Jenna Renee Amacher in two separate cases. In the first case, she has been indicted for the following crimes related to her run for office: False Entries on Official Registration or Election Document (Class D felony), False Swearing or Affirming (Class D felony), Destruction/Alteration/False Entry with Governmental Records (Class E felony), Perjury (Class A misdemeanor) and Failure to Notify of Change of Address (Class C misdemeanor).

In the second case, Amacher was indicted for Illegal Registration or Voting, (Class D felony) and two counts of Perjury (Class A misdemeanor).
