MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County Attorney has cleared the Shelby County Assessor of allegations she might have behaved unethically.

Assessor Cheyenne Johnson was first elected to office in 2008.

The investigation began after an anonymous tipster sent a stack of papers in the mail to Shelby County Commissioner Terry Roland.

Roland said the tipster claimed Johnson, “bought properties ahead of going to tax sales that they knew were going to be worth a lot of money in the future.”

The commissioner turned the paperwork over to the County Attorney and the District Attorney General’s Office.

He said he also contacted the FBI about the claims.

Roland’s source claimed Johnson was using her job as assessor to buy and sell property for her own benefit.

The tipster also claimed Johnson helped a man he/she believed to be Johnson’s son at Faith Investment Group, LLC with property deals.

Attorney Virginia Bozeman found no evidence that or other allegations were true.

Johnson told us previously, “I do not do anything that I think would be improper in regards to procedures.”

She released a statement Wednesday, calling it “regretful” that other parties were implicated in these allegations.

Johnson said, “As Assessor, I have and will continue to faithfully discharge my state-mandated duties without fear, favor, or affection, and will continue to serve the people who live and work in Shelby County with honor.”
