The husband of a Tennessee police officer who was fired for allegedly sleeping with six co-workers reportedly plans to stand by her.
Officer Meagan Hall, 26, of La Vergne police station had allegedly been engaging in sexual relations with six male officers - sometimes while 'on-duty and inside city owned property.'
According to local reports, the former police officer had 'engaged in sexual relationships' and 'exchanged explicit photos' with some of her male colleagues - who have also either been fired or suspended - and claimed to be in an 'open marriage' with her husband Jedidiah Hall.
Now that word of the workplace scandal is out, Meagan's husband still plans to stay by her side.

"I don’t know how he’s doing it, he’s more of a man than I am, but he’s trying to salvage his marriage," Jedidiah's boss, Coffee County Sheriff Chad Partin, told the Daily Mail.
“I don’t condone what went on at the La Vergne Police Department but he sure hasn’t broken any laws. He’s the victim here. There’s not a blemish on his record. He is doing a phenomenal, phenomenal job."
In December, and internal investigation was launched into Meagan's alleged sexual misconduct with other officers.
Patrol officer Juan Lugo-Perez, Sgt. Henry Ty McGowan, Sgt. Lewis Powell and detective Seneca Shields have also been terminated, while Patrol and K-9 Officer Larry Holladay, Patrol Officer Patrick Magliocco and Patrol Officer Gavin Schoeberl have been suspended.
According to the allegations made during the investigation, Meagan had been 'engaged in a sexual relationship' with six of the above officers - two 'while on duty and inside city owned property'.
As well as Meagan, two of the involved police officers, Magliocco and Powell, are reportedly married to other partners.
According to Officer Magliocco, Sgt. Powell called off his involvement with Meaghan Hall amid concerns about his position within the department, as well as the wellbeing of his marriage.
The report also suggests that Meagan had upset her husband Jedidiah at a party when she started kissing officer Magliocco's wife.
Commenting on the incident, Magliocco said in the report that Jedidiah 'really wasn't on board' with her having a threesome.
On Monday, Police Chief Burrell Davis commented on the investigation and resulting terminations and suspensions, stating: "This is a difficult situation for our department and for the city, but I want to be clear that the actions of a few do not represent this department as a whole.
"This situation is being addressed internally with our staff, we are bringing in counselors to help our officers work through these circumstances, and we will continue to provide the most professional protection as possible for this community.
"We have sufficient staff to cover all of our patrol shifts and I have full confidence in our officer’s ability to protect and serve. We are working diligently to rebuild the trust of our citizens and our community.
"We understand this will take time and diligence from our command staff and officers to repair the honor and integrity of our department."
Meanwhile, the only comment from Meaghan herself to the Daily Mail was: "I don't want to discuss it, I'm just going to move on and live my life."
