News Herald Arrest Report

Woman jailed for fighting with deputies
 
An Athens woman was charged Feb. 25 with resisting arrest after trying to fight with deputies sent to a local house.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a home on Bat Creek Road to investigate calls of an unwanted guest.

Diamond Natosha Young, 40, was visiting overnight but was reportedly out of control, running around inside the house and into walls. A resident of the house worried Young might be on drugs, LCSO Deputy Chase Lane wrote in a report.

Young tried to attack the owner of the house. Two people in the house held Young down until deputies arrived.

Deputies attempted to detain Young, but she became violent and ran. Young tried to fight with Deputy Caleb Green, who attempted to “drive stun” Young with a taser.

She was eventually detained but was incoherent and couldn’t stay still.

The owner of the house told Lane that Young must have been on drugs but was unsure what kind. The owner said Young was in a room with a male. The man said Young was fine before suddenly acting violent after going to the bathroom, according to a report.

LCSO Cpl. Zach Frye found a clear, empty bag next to the toilet. Witnesses told deputies they heard Young and the man arguing.

Young was transported to Fort Loudoun Medical Center to be treated for injuries. Young was charged with resisting arrest and held on $2,000 bond.

Lenoir City man charged with DUI
 

A Lenoir City man was arrested Sunday after being charged with driving under the influence.

LCSO Deputy Cody Bengel was on patrol and driving on Shaw Ferry Road when he saw a red Ford Focus driven by Bryson Cody Young, 33. Bengel knew Young’s driver’s license was previously revoked and has had multiple warnings, according to a report.

Bengel confirmed Young’s license was still revoked before conducting a traffic stop. When he approached Young, Bengel noticed there was a paused YouTube video on Young’s phone.
Young seemed dazed and had delayed responses to Bengel’s questions. Young told Bengel, “I should be crying right now,” but would not clarify what he meant when Bengel asked. Then Young said, “Years ago I was forced to swallow something.” Bengel asked Young what he meant, and Young gave Bengel an irrational answer, according to a report.
Young’s relative, the owner of the Ford Focus, was told by Cpl. Zach Frye less than two weeks ago that Young’s license had been revoked and that his car could be seized if he let him drive.
Young was charged with driving under the influence and driving on a revoked/suspended license and released on $5,000 bond.
