Lenoir City man jailed for DUI, guns

A Lenoir City man is facing multiple charges after law enforcement found him Monday having difficulty breathing.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Keith Swinney arrived on Ridge Bark Lane to find a vehicle parked in the roadway. Paramedics also responded to the scene.

The vehicle’s driver, Hayden Anthony Jago, had a strong odor of alcohol and slurred speech. In the center console was an open beer can. Jago told Swinney he had “a couple at a friend’s house.”

“When asked to get his driver’s license, he advised myself and Sgt. (Jerramie) Bowen of his two handguns in the center console where his wallet was located,” Swinney wrote in a report. “We had him step out of the vehicle and secured two loaded 9mm pistols.”
While conducting field sobriety testing, Jago admitted he had too much to drink. His blood alcohol content level came back at .221, according to Swinney’s report.
Jago, 25, was charged with driving under the influence and possession of a handgun while under the influence and released on $2,500 bond.
Women threatens with knifeResponding to a call of an aggravated assault Jan. 14 on Hines Valley Road, LCSO Deputy Cody Bengel and Cpl. Matt Fagiana met Jennifer Tara Smith. Fagiana then spoke with a man who came from a neighbor’s house. The man said he was away from home when Smith called him and asked him to come home so he could drive her to get cigarettes.
“Once (the man) got home, he went inside and began to talk with Jennifer,” Bengel wrote in a report. “Jennifer became upset and grabbed a large, fixed-blade knife from a display case. Jennifer then pointed the knife at the man and said, ‘You are going to die tonight’.”
The man tried talking to Smith, but she continued making threats. He then fled the house.
Smith said there was no assault, but admitted taking all the knives out of the display case in the living room because she was afraid the victim would hurt himself. The victim identified the knife from the alleged incident.
Smith, 38, Lenoir City, was charged with aggravated domestic violence and held on $25,000 bond.
