was the old "walking tall" movie based on this incident, a different incident, or completely made up?

The "Walking Tall" movie(s) was/were very loosely based on a completely different but basically true incident that occurred in McNairy County located over in the western part of TN on the TN/MS state line. In the original "Walking Tall" movie, Joe Don Baker, played the part of sheriff, Buford Pusser.
