An East Tennessee World War II veteran received a long-awaited medal for his service Tuesday.

Harold Davis, a former Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Army Air Corps. received a World War II Air Medal during a ceremony at McGhee Tyson ANG Base. That medal dates back to May 11, 1945.

"Its very special to me, makes you think back on what you earned it for," said the Oliver Springs veteran, remembering his time in the service.

Police arrested three people after they raided a home in Oliver Springs for drugs on Sunday.

William Phillips, 44, Hannah Phillips, 22, and Benjamin Davis, 21, were transported to Roane County Jail and are facing drug and weapon charges.

Inside the residence at 809 Wilson Road, officers seized nearly 15 pounds of marijuana, 13 firearms, several boxes of ammunition, 2 homemade silencers, 2 vehicles, equipment used to grow marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Some Oliver Springs leaders want flouride out of the public water supply, but several doctors and dentists are fighting to keep it in.

Thursday, the town held a public meeting about the floride levels.

Over the summer, the town's water board voted to remove flouride altogether from the water system. After that vote, leaders learned they were required under state law to give residents a 30-day notice and hold a public forum, which led to Thursday's meeting.
