Billy L. Littleton

Current office and 2026 campaign

Billy L. Littleton is a Republican candidate running for Constable District 3 in Monroe, Tennessee, in the 2026 election cycle ⁷. He currently serves as a lieutenant with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office ¹⁴.

Littleton has been identified by local media as a legitimate officer within the Monroe County Sheriff's Department. In February 2025, he was listed as the contact for public assistance in identifying a suspect in a burglary case ²⁰. Earlier that year, in February 2024, Deputy Billy Littleton reported making an arrest for criminal impersonation and resisting arrest after pursuing a suspect who had falsely claimed to be his brother ²¹.

Littleton’s career has been marked by a significant disciplinary controversy. In September 2021, Monroe County Sheriff Tommy Jones suspended Littleton without pay for 30 days and placed him on one year of probation after a video surfaced showing him shouting a racial slur out of a vehicle window ¹⁷¹⁹. The Atlanta Black Star reported that the video showed Littleton yelling “f-cking n-ggers” while seated in the back of a car, with a woman in the front seat appearing to record and laugh ¹⁹. Sheriff Jones stated he was "highly appalled by the language" and emphasized that such behavior was not tolerated by the department ¹⁷¹⁹. As part of his discipline, Littleton was required to undergo racial sensitivity training through the county’s human resources department and was removed from consideration for sergeant promotions ¹⁷¹⁹. The Atlanta Black Star noted that the incident caused outrage on social media, with some residents questioning whether he should be reinstated ¹⁹.

In 2026, Littleton’s name has appeared in public records related to a scam alert issued by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. The office warned residents that scammers were using his name and title to leave fraudulent voicemails claiming to have "confidential legal matter[s]" requiring immediate attention ¹⁴. The sheriff's office clarified that while Littleton is a legitimate lieutenant, the specific call and voice message were not from him or the department ¹⁴.
