Schultz stopped the truck and was presented a Tennessee driver’s license with the name “Shannon Scott Russell,” according to the report. A woman who stopped by to pick up the man identified him as Christopher Deway Clabough. “When I asked why the male had bloodshot eyes and the odor of alcohol about his person (there was a empty beer can on the scene) the male stated that he had smoked marijuana a couple of hours earlier on this date,” Schultz wrote in his report.
