Marijuana pipe found within child’s reach

A Maryville woman is facing charges after being investigated as a “suspicious person.”

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Billy Lewis was dispatched Dec. 23 to Hines Valley Road but Deputy Will Jenkins arrived before Lewis and saw Melissa Lee Ann Blevins, 30, walking around her vehicle while a child was in the vehicle’s passenger seat.

Lewis noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming from Blevins’ vehicle, and her speech was slow and slurred.

After removing the child from the vehicle, Lewis found two baggies of marijuana that weighed 9 grams in a cubby on the passenger side dashboard, along with a pipe within the child’s reach.

Blevins was charged with public intoxication, simple possession/casual exchange, possession of drug paraphernalia and child endangerment and held on $14,000 bond.
