Which Agency Holds a Report from Savannah
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Savannah that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Savannah Police Department); outside it, the Hardin County Sheriff's Office.
The Adamsville Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Hardin County, so its arrests are not broken out for Hardin County here.

What the Tennessee Public Records Act Requires
Under the Tennessee Public Records Act the agency must answer a request within 7 business days, and it may charge copying, and labor after the first hour. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney General, (931)962-1144, handles discovery for pending cases.
