Lenoir City man flees scene on lawnmower
A Lenoir City man is facing charges after law enforcement responded to a call Friday of an unwanted guest at a residence. Quentin Daniel Johnson, 23, tried to take belongings from a home Friday before attempting to make a getaway. Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Inv. Chris Bowen and other LCSO deputies responded to the call. One of the occupants of the residence saw Johnson open a window and reach in to grab a pack of cigarettes. After being caught, Johnson entered the residence through the front door, Bowen wrote in a report.
Johnson
took a Yamaha guitar, valued at less than $1,000, that belonged
to a man at the residence, Bowen wrote in a report. Johnson then
fled to a barn on the property where he intended to hide. The
man found Johnson in the barn and recovered his stolen guitar.
“He
left the property on his riding lawnmower returning to his
residence ... where he was taken into custody by Deputies
(Kevin) Kirkland and (Jamie) Ketner,” Bowen wrote in a
report. “Deputy Ketner did locate 2.5 small white round
pills, identified by Deputy Ketner as 2mg Clonzepam, in the
pocket of Johnson, who was in possession of the pills
without a prescription.”
Johnson was charged with aggravated burglary, theft of
property and simple possession/casual exchange and released
on $13,000 bond.
Pill
found during search
Lenoir
City Police Officer Jordan Samuels arrested Michael
Christopher Taylor, 31, Lenoir City, for domestic assault
Saturday.
In a
woman’s statement, she wrote Taylor had shouted multiple
obscenities and threats at her before pulling her by the
hair and biting her ear. She said she was afraid of Taylor
since this wasn’t the first time this had happened.
After
being transported to Loudon County Jail, Taylor was asked by
LCSO Deputy Blake Gentry if he had any illegal contraband
and he replied he did not.
“While
conducting a strip search on Michael per jail policy, Deputy
Gentry observed a clear, plastic-like material containing
one half of an unknown orange pill between Michael’s
buttocks,” a report said. “Deputy Gentry asked what the pill
was and Michael stated that it was one half of a (suboxone)
pill that he is medically prescribed.”
The
pill was determined to be a Schedule III narcotic.
Taylor
was charged with domestic assault-misdemeanor and contraband
in a penal institution and released on $2,000 bond.
