A Brown County woman faces a felony after police say she denied knowing the whereabouts of a man they were trying to arrest.
On May 21, police responded to a home on Mt. Liberty Road to serve a warrant on Trenton Dilk, 25, of Nashville.
Samantha A. Wilson, 24, answered the door and when Deputy Chad Williams asked to speak with Dilk, she told the deputies he was not there. When asked if police could enter the home to search for him, Wilson said she didn’t want them to since the home was messy, the affidavit states.
Wilson eventually allowed police to enter the home. She said that she and Dilk lived the room near the door and that the rest of the home was boarded up. When Williams walked toward the part of the room where a curtain blocked the opening to a door frame, Wilson became “visibly nervous by fixing her stare at the door” where Williams was standing, the probable-cause affidavit states.
Williams handcuffed Dilk, who had been hiding in that area. Wilson said she knew Dilk was at the home when she told the deputies he was not there and that she knew Dilk had a warrant out for his arrest.
Wilson and Dilk were both taken to the jail. She was charged May 22 with assisting a criminal, a Level 6 felony, since the charge Dilk was booked on was a Level 6 felony as well.
