Improper turn leads to pot, moth and beer bust
By RA T LIGHTNER
Journal Staff Writer
A traffic stop early
Saturday morning led to
drug charges for the driver
and his passenger.
About 2:49 a.m. Saturday,
a deputy observed a pickup
turn into the Enmark store
and initiated a traffic stop
because the driver reported
ly failed to enter the closest
lane after making his turn
onto Houston Lake Road.
The deputy made con
tact with the driver, Dallas
Weeks, who he had contact
with a few days prior in
another vehicle.
The driver reportedly
said the truck belonged to
a friend, the passenger’s
boyfriend, and admitted to
turning incorrectly. A check
of the vehicle reportedly
came back with a lot of his
tory, and the driver report
edly said he should not even
be driving it, but he was on
his way home and taking the
passenger home.
When asked for insur
ance, he reportedly provided
a water bill as the insur
ance on the vehicle. When
that was pointed out, he said
the passenger gave him the
wrong card.
She was reportedly mov
ing around a lot and shak
ing, appeared very nervous
and the deputy reportedly
noticed an odor of alcoholic
beverage coming from her
person.
Her face reportedly
appeared pale and her eyes
were extremely bloodshot
and glassy. When asked, she

said the truck was her boy
friend’s, and he knew they
had it. They were report
edly moving his belongings
from one residence to anoth
er. Her story reportedly
changed several times from
going to Weeks’ girlfriend’s
house to watching movies
at her boyfriend’s father’s
house.
She reportedly said she
was thirsty and they were
going to the store to get
something to drink. She said
didn’t know where the house
was and that’s why Weeks
was driving.
The driver reportedly said
they were going to a friend’s
house off Smithville Church
Road. He was then issued
a warning for the improper
turn.
After issuing the warn
ing, the deputy reportedly
reminded the driver he’d
found a glass smoking pipe
in his vehicle a few days
earlier and asked if he could
search the vehicle. The driv
er reportedly said it wasn’t
his and he “personally didn’t
care” if the deputy searched
and gave permission.
A search of the vehicle
reportedly turned up a
brown case on the front
seat, inside of which was a
clear plastic baggie contain
ing a crystal-like substance
and an orange transparent
baggy containing a white
powder-like substance.
Both the driver and pas
senger were subsequently
placed into custody for pos
session of methamphet
amine.
Also reportedly found in
tate or a prostate infection
can cause the prostate to
secrete increased amounts
of the PSA protein,” states
Dr. Deighton. “This means
that the PSA test can some
times suggest cancer, but
with additional testing, it
is determined to be a false
alarm.”

the search was an open con
tainer of beer in the bag
that had been between the
passenger’s legs. A small
plastic bag of maryuana was
reportedly found in the pas
senger’s wallet and a floor
safe was also found in the
vehicle.
After taking the passenger,
Tina Sanderlin Spivey, to
jail, a check of the back seat
of the patrol car reportedly
turned up a glass smoking
pipe with white substance,
which was not there before
she was put in the car.
Spivey was advised she
dropped her pipe in the back
seat leading to both she and
Weeks being searched before
being released to the jail.
Weeks, 33, of Eastman was
charged with possession of
methamphetamine. Spivey,
39, of Gray, was charged
with possession of meth
amphetamine, possession
of marijuana (less than one
ounce) and an open contain
er violation. The suspected
substances reportedly tested
positive for methamphet
amine.
No food, no water
= animal cruelty
On Friday around 8:22
p.m. a deputy responded to
a Highway 127 Loop resi
dence in reference to an ani
mal cruelty complaint. A
woman who rents a stall on
the property knew the ten
ant had dogs on the property
and sometimes reportedly
did not feed them. He was
not home, but the two dogs

She gave them water, but
had no food. They looked
malnourished, so she called
the police. The dogs were
taken into custody by ani
mal control.
Abandoned
On Friday about 11:19 a.m.
a deputy and animal control
went to a Woods Trail home
to find two dogs had been

A real estate company

the yard after the residents
moved out between Aug. 16-
18. Both dogs were severely
emaciated and were taken
into custody by animal con
trol.

If your license is sus

buckle up. Alvin Daniels
found that out the hard way
Saturday about 5:30 p.m. on
Ignico Drive. He was report
edly observed not wearing
his seatbelt and was pulled
over.
When asked for his license,
the driver reportedly said he
did not have it with him
but did have his identifica
tion card on him. A check
reportedly came back that
his license was suspended
Aug. 5, 2005, for failure
to appear. Daniels, 22, of
Warner Robins was arrested

way Friday about 6:25 p.m.
on Dunbar Road. He was
reportedly observed travel
ing at a high rate of speed
- clocked at 59 mph in a 35
mph zone.
The deputy initiated a traf

From page 6A
remember that a serving
of meat is only three ounc
es the size of a deck of
cards.
■B. Keep track of
daily cholesterol intake.
It may seem like a chore,
but it’s worth figuring
out which foods are high
in cholesterol. According
to the American Heart
Association, adults should
limit dietary cholesterol to
300 milligrams per day,
200 milligrams per day if
they have heart disease or
its risk factors. “A salad
may seem healthful, but
not when it’s covered in
creamy, fatty, cholester
ol-laden dressing,” com
ments Brenner.
■9. Cook health
fully. A person could eat
nothing but fruits, veg
etables and fish and still
have high cholesterol all
because of the way they
cook. “Breading, batter
ing and frying all add
fat,” explains Brenner.
“Instead, try steam
ing, poaching, grilling or
baking nutritious foods.
Avoid cream sauces, and
use reduced-fat dressings”
She also urgeg individu
als to try using nonstick
cookware and sprays, and
to remember to always
trim visible fat from meat
before cooking.
■ 10. Put a lid On
stress. Research shows
that stress can increase
the body’s cholesterol
production. Find time to
pursue relaxing activities
that will defuse stress
triggers. If stress is dis
rupting daily * life, enroll
in a stress-reduction pro
gram at a local hospital
or talk to a therapist.
Houston Healthcare regu
larly offers stress manage
ment classes as part of
its community education
program. For class dates
and times, call EduCare at

HEART
From page 6A
A lack of folate can raise
the level of the amino
acid homocysteine in the
blood, perhaps increasing
the risk factor for heart
disease, stroke and periph
eral vascular disease.
Though further testing
is still being conducted,
adding folate-rich foods
to one’s daily diet can’t
hurt. Folate-rich foods
include avocado, banana,
asparagus, spinach, kid
ney beans, orange juice
and strawberries.
