News Herald Arrest Report
Man charged
with drugs, guns, contraband
A Loudon man was arrested on
multiple counts related to the possession of drugs and guns Friday
on Lakeview Road.
Spotting a 1987 brown Ford Ranger traveling along Lakeview at Beals Chapel Road, Loudon County Sheriff's Office Deputy Kevin Dailey confirmed through dispatch that the driver, Robert Andrew Yelverton, 26, Loudon, had a revoked license. The driver proceeded to turn into a utility office and exited the truck, according to the arrest report.
"As I attempted to detain Mr. Yelverton, I felt his hand
reaching for his waistband," Dailey wrote in the report. After
the man was detained, a lighter and cigarette pack fell out of
his pocket. Police located .46 grams of crystal methamphetamine,
1 Xanax pill and a marijuana joint inside the pack.
Yelverton told police the items were his, Dailey wrote.
Police also found an unloaded 12-gauge shotgun behind the seat
in the truck.
In a separate report, LCSO Deputy Eric Curtis recovered
methamphetamine that was inside a folded $1 bill in Yelverton's
wallet during a search at Loudon County Jail.
"Your affiant is familiar with this method of packaging by this
defendant due to a recent intake into the Loudon County Jail,
approximately one week ago, where Mr. Yelverton had folded one
dollar bill containing a white crystal-like substance that also
field tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine,"
Agent Brendan DeBoer, with the Ninth Judicial District Attorney
General drug task force, wrote in the report.
Yelverton was charged with driving on a revoked/suspended
license, two counts of manufacture/sell/delivery/resale of a
controlled substance, simple possession/casual exchange,
unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon by a felon and
contraband in a penal institution and held on $18,000 bond.
Woman arrested for aggravated assault
A Loudon woman was taken to Loudon County Jail on Sunday after a
physical altercation.
Dispatched to a call of a dispute at a retail store in Lenoir
City, police spoke with a woman who had "several lacerations and
blood coming from her face," according to the police report.
The woman said she and her husband were in the store when the
man saw his ex-wife, Victoria Mae Purdy, 44. Purdy confronted
the woman about calling her daughter a "derogatory name,"
according to the report.
"Ms. Purdy then stated that if (the woman) ever said that about
her daughter again she would 'kick her ass'," according to the
report.
"(The woman) told Ms. Purdy that she would not do it, at which
point Ms. Purdy made a fist with her right hand and struck (the
woman) on the left side of her face," according to police.
The woman was taken to Fort Loudoun Medical Center for an
evaluation and had two facial fractures.
Purdy was charged with aggravated assault and released on
$10,000 bond.
