Routine stop ends with drug arre

“Both are convicted felons and were detained,” Yates wrote in a report. “The gun turned out to be a BB gun. The search uncovered several plastic bags scattered throughout the center console and one bag that contained a white powder substance believed to be methamphetamine. The substance weighed approximately 2 grams. The substance did not have the same consistency as what I have encountered and is possibly fake.”

Yates noted it was packaged and intended to pass off as an illegal substance. He also found pipes, a needle and cut straw with residue. The paraphernalia was found in a satchel that also had a bag with less than 1 gram of meth that field-tested positive.

Jaynes was arrested after the items were traced back to him.

Jaynes was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and simple possession/casual exchange and held on $4,000 bond.

Woman arrested

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chance Gray stopped a vehicle Saturday after he was informed by another deputy that the driver was possibly intoxicated and traveling 100 miles per hour on Interstate 75 near mile marker 72.

The driver, Sidney Kristina Vandervort, claimed she was “all over the road” because she was playing with her cellphone.

“Ms. Vandervort stated that the reason she was speeding was that she thought she was being followed,” Gray wrote in a report.

Vandervort’s license came back suspended out of Alabama for an accumulation of tickets as of Nov. 24. She was also on felony bond for shooting at a motor vehicle in Alabama.

Vandervort, 19, Russellville, Ala., was charged with driving on a revoked/suspended license and released on $3,000 bond.
