Lenoir City couple arrested afte

A Lenoir City couple was arrested Friday after police responded to an altercation.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Austin Parton responded to a home on Highland Avenue to investigate a domestic disturbance. Parton met Caitlin Noel Trantanella, 30, who said her boyfriend, Jesse Alexander Morgan, 30, had assaulted her, thrown beer at her car and tossed her phone into the woods.

Parton spoke to Morgan, who said the pair got into an argument after Trantanella went through Morgan’s phone and accused him of cheating. Morgan admitted lobbing a beer can at Trantanella’s car and throwing her phone into the woods.

The argument continued inside the home, and Morgan attempted to leave through the front door. Morgan said Trantanella wouldn’t let him through, so he turned around to go out the back door. Trantanella then picked up a knife and tried to stab him from behind. Morgan raised his arm to block the knife leaving a small wound on his forearm. Morgan thinks he may have struck her afterward, Parton wrote in a report.

Parton spoke to Trantanella again, whose story lined up with Morgan’s until the two went inside. She said Morgan verbally abused her inside the home. At first, she said she slapped him after the verbal abuse. Later, she said she slapped him after he had pushed her. She said Morgan went into the kitchen and threw a glass of milk at the sink.

Trantanella said Morgan was walking around with his fists clenched and tried to leave, which is when she picked up a knife and threw it at him. She later said Morgan had pushed her before she threw the knife at him.

Trantanella was charged with aggravated assault and released on $10,000 bond.

Morgan was charged with vandalism and interfering with an emergency call and released on $2,000 bond.

Man found with drugs, gunsA Lenoir City man was arrested Jan. 26 on drug and gun charges after being pulled over for driving under the influence.

LCSO Deputy Christian Rogers was driving behind a red GMC Suburban on Muddy Creek Road when he watched it swerve into the oncoming lane. Rogers stopped the car and met the driver, Joshua Daniel Crawford, 25. Crawford seemed dazed and lethargic and took long periods of time to answer simple questions, according to a report.

Rogers saw in plain view a “marijuana apparatus” in the center cupholder. After being asked, Crawford told Rogers he had guns in his front and rear waist band. Rogers found a Taurus 9 mm and Ruger .380, both with a bullet chambered, Rogers wrote in a report.

Crawford agreed to field sobriety tests, which revealed impairment.

Rogers confirmed Crawford’s license was suspended and he had an active violation of probation warrant out of Anderson County.

While searching Crawford’s car, Rogers found 10 “marijuana apparatuses,” scales, two methamphetamine pipes, an illicit drug grinder, a snorting kit and other cut straws with residue. Rogers also found two containers with THC wax, two containers with an unknown off-white substance and a baggie with 1 gram of meth.

Crawford was charged with possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony, simple possession/casual exchange, possession of drug paraphernalia, manufacture, delivery, sale or possession of meth, driving under the influence and driving on a revoked/suspended license and held on $35,500 bond.
