Smudge of dirt leads to Knoxville man arrest
 

On Thursday, a small license plate infraction led to much more severe charges against a Knoxville man.

Lenoir City Police Department officer Riley Miller, was conducting traffic enforcement in the area of Highway 321 near Interstate 40 in Lenoir City. During Miller’s duties, he observed a vehicle traveling south on Highway 321.

While watching the vehicle, Miller noticed that the license plate displayed on the rear of the vehicle had a smudge of dirt which hindered reading it in full.
A traffic stop on the vehicle was conducted where Miller then made contact with the driver who was identified as 31-year-old Tyler Nelson of Knoxville. Nelson stated at the start of the traffic stop that he didn’t have a license and that his current one was suspended. A statement that was proven to be the truth later on according to the official report.

Miller then instructed Nelson to step out of his vehicle for further investigation. During the roadside search, Nelson allowed Miller full access to his car. During the search, Miller located a pill bottle which contained one-and-a-half orange pills labeled “N8.” The pills were identified to be suboxone.

The label on the bottle stated that the medication belonged to a woman who Nelson stated was his girlfriend. Further searching revealed the pill bottle along with pills in between the driver’s seat and passenger’s seat of the vehicle.

According to the police report, Miller observed an orange powder substance inside of Nelson’s nostril.

It was also revealed that Nelson had failed to appear for a warrant on a violation of probation in Sevier County. Nelson’s license was suspended for failure to pay fines and costs out of Jefferson County from 2017.

Nelson was charged with driving on a suspended license and simple possession/ casual exchange and was held without bond.
