Men caught with drugs

Two men were arrested Thursday on Interstate 75 Southbound on multiple drug-related charges.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Christian Rogers saw a Tahoe traveling south on I-75 with two white lights “projecting from the rear of the vehicle” and a dysfunctional headlight. Rogers attempted to stop the Tahoe, but it slowed from 70 mph to 45 mph in an attempt to not pass Rogers.

After stopping the vehicle, Rogers confronted the driver, John Glen Gunter, 54, Newport, and passenger, Ethan Thomas Smith, 30, Bybee.

Gunter had restricted pupils and was acting nervous, so Rogers had him exit the car. Gunter told Rogers he and a friend were heading to Chattanooga for an estate sale and gave consent for a search of the vehicle. Rogers asked Smith to exit the vehicle as he was also showing signs of narcotic impairment, according to a report.

During a search of the car, Rogers recovered two small baggies of methamphetamine totaling 1.21 grams, a black zippered bag with multiple baggies with residue, two Subutex pills, 2 grams of marijuana, multiple straws with residue and multiple meth pipes in the passenger side floorboard, according to a report.

Neither man claimed the items, and both said they were unaware of how the items got in the car. Gunter had $2,400. Smith had $1,000, along with a note stating, “Troy 8ball Clear $300,” Rogers wrote in a report.

Gunter performed poorly on field sobriety tests. Rogers noticed a white substance inside Gunter’s nostril.

Gunter was charged with two counts of simple possession/casual exchange, possession of drug paraphernalia, manufacture, delivery, sale or possession of meth and driving under the influence and held on $39,500 bond.

Smith was charged with two counts of simple possession/casual exchange, possession of drug paraphernalia and manufacture, delivery, sale or possession of meth and released on $37,500 bond.

Drunk woman falls asleep in carA Knoxville woman was arrested Sunday after being found asleep at the wheel of her car.

LCSO Deputy Rogers found a car stopped on the I-75 Southbound exit ramp at the intersection of Sugarlimb Road, and “after an extended amount of time” he repositioned his car “to view the driver.” Rogers saw a woman “slumped over” at the wheel of the vehicle, he wrote in a report.

While he was running the car’s registration plates, the woman, Crystal Emalee McFarland, 47, awoke and began to drive off. Rogers stopped McFarland, who smelled strongly of alcohol and showed other signs of intoxication.

McFarland told Rogers she drank a 750 ml bottle of Seagram’s vodka before leaving Knoxville to go to Nashville and got lost. She said she had also “vaped” THC while driving and fell asleep at the intersection while looking for directions, Rogers wrote in a report. The woman performed poorly on field sobriety tests.

McFarland was charged with driving under the influence and released on $2,500 bond.
