By Gary Pitts/Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle

Clarksville, TN – A Clarksville man serving a negligent homicide sentence for his involvement in the shooting death of a retired coach has been released from jail. Jovan Dixon left jail Wednesday to serve the rest of his sentence on probation. Dixon served jail time beginning in June 2007 for his involvement in the death of Willard Ross, retired Northwest High School coach. The death occurred as Dixon fired a gun at another man, Jeremy Jarvis, who returned fire, missing and hitting Ross instead. The Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle reports Jarvis is currently serving a thirty seven year sentence.
