Macon man jailed for fleeing
Monroe County deputy
A Macon man was jailed for
fleeing on April 11 after Sgt.
Chris Sherrell tried an inter
state traffic stop on a black 2019
Dodge Ram 1500 near mile
marker 177. The 25-year-old
driver moved over to the right
shoulder and then hit speeds over
100 mph. He continued south
bound passing multiple vehicles
without signaling.
The Georgia State Patrol
entered the pursuit at Bass Road
and Sherrell conducted a P.I.T.
maneuver causing the pickup to
spin out of control and stop in
the middle of the road. The driver
was immediately taken into
custody without incident. The
pickup cab smelled strongly of
marijuana and a small, partially
smoked joint was found on him.
A few crumbs were also found in
the vehicle. He refused to comply
with a blood test.
Mid-Ga Wrecker impounded
the Ram, and the driver was
turned over to jail personnel with
charges of fleeing, DUI-refusal.
Man in old Cadillac busted
with drugs and a pistol
A 34 year old Atlanta man faces
multiple drug charges after being
stopped On 1-75 north in his gold
2006 Cadillac CTS on April 11 by
Cpl. Jaleel Brown.
Brown noticed the Cadillacs win
dows including the windshield had
exceedingly dark tint. He caught up
with the vehicle near Johnstonville
Road and activated his lights, but
the driver showed no intention of
stopping.
After moving into lane 1, the
Cadillac continued for another
two miles before finally pulling
over on the right shoulder. Asked
why he didn’t stop sooner, the
driver said he thought Brown was
pulling someone else over. The
corporal could smell marijuana
coming from the car and asked
about it. The man said he didn’t
smoke weed but his wife may have
smoked it in the car earlier. Asked
for his insurance he said he needed
to call his wife for it. The driver
gave Brown a work badge and kept
repeating that he was heading to
work in Conyers. He said he had
been living in Pulaski for a few
months.
In the rear seat of the Cadillac in
side a small bookbag, Brown found
a pill bottle filled with ecstasy pills,
a small baggie of crack cocaine, a
small baggie of powder cocaine,
a medium-sized vacuum sealed
bag of marijuana and a Ziplock
bag filled with several pouches of
THC edibles. At the bottom of the
bag was a Smith and Wesson M&P
Shield .40 caliber firearm.

session of crack cocaine, possession
of ecstasy, possession of marijuana
more than one ounce, possession

Penn, man jailed after
cracking a cold beer while
being questioned by police
Two men got a little too cocky
with officer Marcus Walker as
they sat in a blue Dodge pickup
truck behind the Royal 7 con
venience store on April 15 and
found themselves sitting in jail.
Walker responded to the sus
picious vehicle call and asked
the driver what they were doing
behind the building. The man
said they were waiting for the
passenger’s girlfriend to get off
work. He had no ID but when
Walker ran his name, he learned
he had a license suspension out of
Pennsylvania.
When Walker asked the pas
senger for ID the man answered
that he wasn’t going to give it to
him because he hadn’t committed
a crime. He then reached to the
floorboard, brought up a can of
beer, opened it and started drink
ing. The driver then followed suit
and took a swig from his own can
of beer. Both men were booked
into the Monroe County jail on
charges of public drunkenness
and open container.
Ind. men stopped in speed
ing SUV arrested for drugs
Two Indiana men were arrest
ed on multiple charges after Sgt.
Nicholas Ortiz clocked a 2013
Ford Escape SUV speeding at 100
miles per hour on 1-75 S on April
17. Ortiz made the stop near the
weigh station and the driver said
he had a license from Indiana
but didn’t have it on him. After
running his name and date of
birth, Ortiz could find no record
of the driver. The man told Ortiz
that he did indeed have a license
and could show him a picture of
it on his phone. The sergeant then
learned the driver was driving
on a suspended license. He was
arrested and put in the rear of a
patrol car.
Cpl. Dalton Mosely arrived
to assist, and Ortiz told him he
would have to take the unlicensed
passenger to Forsyth since the
SUV was going to be towed. The
passenger was then removed and
told to wait on the front bumper
of Ortiz’s patrol unit.
Meanwhile, Ortiz found an
open Modelo beer bottle on the
passenger seat of the Escape and
one in the driver’s side door pock
et. There was a vacuumed sealed
bag of marijuana in the rear seat.
Ortiz read the driver his rights
and asked who owned the bag.
The man said the bag wasn’t his
and that a friend had put it in the
vehicle. He admitted that he knew
it was there. He was arrested
While patting down the passen
ger, Ortiz found an Aleve contain
er that contained a bag of meth-
amphetamine in his right front
jeans pocket. He was seated in the
rear of Mosely’s patrol car.
During a pat down at the jail, the
passenger was found to be holding
13 grams of cocaine and 9 grams
of methamphetamine in his left
shoe.

in the lobby, visibly upset and
bleeding from his forehead.

wall several times. The wall was
damaged. He was arrested and
taken to jail for property damage.

the hotel on April 18. The man
ager told officer Richard Maddox
