Harriman men arrested after high beams

Two Harriman men are facing charges after they initially failed to dim their vehicle’s high beams Christmas Day.

Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Cole Rogers in a report noted he observed a red sedan traveling south on U.S. Highway 321 in the area of Vineyard Road without dimming its lights. While pacing the vehicle, Rogers stated it was going 60 miles per hour in a 40 mph zone. The red sedan also crossed both the yellow and white lines multiple times.

The driver of the vehicle, Justin Caleb Moore, “had slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage,” Rogers wrote in his report.

Rogers then had Moore exit the vehicle for a standardized field sobriety test, which was performed poorly. Moore was placed under arrest.

“(Chad Louis) Parks, who was also intoxicated, did advise the vehicle was his and he let Mr. Moore drive,” Rogers wrote in a report. “Mr. Parks then refused to exit the vehicle and had to be asked multiple times.”

Once outside the vehicle, Rogers located a pair of brass knuckles in Parks’ front pocket.

Moore, 21, was charged with driving under the influence and released on $1,500 bond.

Parks, 20, was charged with driving under the influence by consent and prohibited weapons and released on $2,500 bond.
