News Herald Arrest Report
Loudon man flees head-on collision
A Loudon man racked up a list of charges after a head-on wreck Saturday. Loudon Police Sgt. Bill Evans called Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy J.C. Schultz and informed him about the wreck. When Schultz arrived, Kevin Edward Cress was in custody in the back seat of Cpl. Sam Harrison’s cruiser. At the scene was a silver Volkswagen Passat off the roadway and a white Chevrolet Malibu “approximately one-fourth mile up the roadway,” Schultz wrote in a report.
“Officer Harrison stated that Mr. Cress had struck another
vehicle head on, stopped, then fled the scene going
approximately one-fourth mile until his white Chevrolet Malibu
failed mechanically,” Schultz wrote in a report. “He then got
out and attempted to flee on foot.”
Schultz knew Cress was a
habitual motor offender with a revoked license.
“There was a three-fourths
empty bottle of Jim Evans whiskey and three empty Busch beer
cans in the passenger seat,” Schultz wrote in a report. “Mr.
Cress could not produce any proof of insurance, and refused
to perform any field sobriety tasks. Dispatch advised he had
a warrant for driving on revoked, and his license was
revoked for DUI.”
Cress complained of chest
pain and was transported to Fort Loudoun Medical Center
where he was cleared medically and transported to Loudon
County Jail.
Cress, 37, was charged with
failure to appear, driving under the influence, evading
arrest, no insurance, leaving the scene of accident with
property damage and driving on revoked/suspended license and
held on $1,000 bond.
Officers respond to call of
loose cowsLCSO Deputy Cody Bengel responded to a call Sunday
from a woman complaining about Jimmie Author Haynes’ cows
being in her yard.
Bengel observed “15-20” cows
in the woman’s yard. Dispatch informed Bengel it was “the
seventh time this year that deputies responded to this
address for cows out,” Bengel wrote in a report. Haynes was
contacted and said he would respond to the scene. After more
than an hour of waiting, Haynes had not arrived.
“I left the scene and I made
contact with a blue Lexus on Old Sugarlimb Road,” Bengel
wrote in a report. “It was stopped in the middle of the road
with his hazard lights on. ... I approached the vehicle and
made contact with the subject who was identified as Jimmie
Haynes. I could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from
his person and observed an open wine bottle in the passenger
seat.”
Bengel asked Haynes to
step out of the vehicle. Haynes claimed he could barely
walk due to a broken back.
“Haynes admitted to
drinking wine, taking Seroquel and some other type of
medication earlier today,” Bengel wrote in a report.
“After an inventory of the vehicle, deputies found one
open bottle of wine, two empty bottles of wine and three
empty beer cans.”
Haynes, 71, Lenoir City,
was charged with driving under the influence and
released on $1,000 bond.
