News Herald Arrest Report
Stolen item leads to Lenoir City chase
A Niota man is facing multiple charges after law enforcement noticed
him acting suspiciously while leaving a retail store in Lenoir City.
A report from Brendan DeBoer, 9th Judicial Drug Task Force agent,
notes representatives from DTF and the Loudon County Sheriff’s
Office saw Colt Martin Johnson, 24, exit a home repair store
Thursday with a bulge in his jacket.
DeBoer walked up to Johnson’s vehicle and showed him his
identification. Johnson then turned on his car and began to back
away toward an agent walking behind the vehicle.
“The vehicle then drove out of the parking lot at a high rate of
speed and agents pursued,” DeBoer wrote in a report. “The vehicle
went at unsafe speeds, driving on the shoulder of the road and not
stopping for red lights or stop signs.”
Johnson drove through the Fort Loudoun Medical Center parking lot,
and when he exited the area he hit the front of an occupied
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation vehicle that attempted to set up a
perimeter.
Johnson again began driving recklessly, passing vehicles on U.S.
Highway 321, and attempted to get onto Interstate 75, driving on the
shoulder and grass area before hitting an LCSO deputy’s vehicle.
“The suspect then began to run on foot and agents and deputies
pursued for approximately 1/4 mile,” DeBoer wrote.
After Johnson was arrested, he said he ran because he stole an
impact driver from the home repair store.
Johnson was charged with criminal trespass, theft of property,
evading arrest and four counts of aggravated assault and held
$87,000 bond.
Tampa man jailed on multiple charges
Evince Occilien, 30, Tampa, Fla., was charged Friday with two counts
of identity theft and organized retail crime prevention act and held
on $90,000 bond.
Advised by a Lenoir City retail store’s associates of a man and
woman acting suspiciously using cellphones to complete transactions
at registers — with some of the sales denied — 9th DTF agent Brendan
DeBoer approached Occilien after he exited the store and went to his
vehicle. During the conversation, Occilien said he was using
cellphones, six in plain view, to conduct transactions at the
self-checkout and noted the phones contained stolen credit card
numbers.
A search of Occilien’s vehicle and his girlfriend’s vehicle
recovered $3,500 in stolen merchandise.
“Occilien admitted, post Miranda, that he was using the stolen
credit card numbers to purchase these items at Tennessee area
(retail) stores and then make returns of these at different stores
than the original purchase,” according to DeBoer’s report. “They
would then receive cash and/or gift cards. The gift cards would be
sold at a discounted rate.”
A search of Occilien’s hotel room in Knoxville revealed a laptop and
flash drive with personal identifying information of fraud victims.
Occilien also had more than five personal identifying information
account numbers for credit and debit cards. The female was not
charged.
