Trespass report results in felony drug charges
A man and woman from Nashville were arrested on March 5 after a report of trespassing on a Gould Street property.
Nashville Police Chief Ben Seastrom responded to a call about Trent Lee, 26, and Amber Breedlove, 20, staying on the property without permission. The property owner requested a trespass warning be issued to Breedlove on Feb. 27, according to the police report.
On March 5, Seastrom found the two sleeping on the ground wrapped in blankets, and two capped syringes lying on a blanket next to Lee, the police report said.
Seastrom placed Breedlove under arrest for trespass and requested another officer to take Breedlove into custody. Deputy William Pool took Lee into his vehicle while Seastrom collected the capped syringes. According to the report, Seastrom found two syringes and a small plastic container with a burnt spoon and foil in it. Breedlove later identified the contents of the syringe as heroin. Lee told police that the heroin and syringes belonged to him, the police report said.
Lee and Breedlove were taken to the Brown County jail.
Lee, of Oak Grove Road, was charged on March 6 with possession of a narcotic drug and unlawful possession of syringe, both Level 6 felonies.
Breedlove, of Salt Creek Road, was charged with criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor.
Local man faces battery charge for fight
A 36-year-old man has been charged with misdemeanor battery after an altercation on Dec. 22.
A summons to appear in court on Feb. 4 was issued to Brent Followell, 36, of Georgetown Road. When he did not appear, an affidavit for probable cause was filed with the court, which describes the incident which led to the charge.
According to that report, Nashville Police Chief Ben Seastrom, Officer Abigail Beaver and Officer William Pool responded to a home on Orchard Hill Road the afternoon of Dec. 22 for a report of a physical fight. When they got there, they were told that Followell had left with a relative.
A woman at the house told police that she did not want Followell staying there due to his “anger issues.” She told police that Followell had come back to the house that afternoon and was standing on the patio when she told him she was not comfortable with him staying there. She said he then came through the door and shoved her backward, causing her to land on her hip and side. She did not want medical assistance.
Police told her to call back if Followell returned.
He was charged on Jan. 9 with battery, a Class B misdemeanor.
Local man charged with public nudity at inn
GNAW BONE — A Brown County man has been charged with a misdemeanor for stripping naked and showing up at a bed and breakfast.
The Brown County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched just after 11:34 p.m. March 11 to the bed and breakfast on State Road 46 East. The caller reported that a man, later identified as 35-year-old Shawn T. O’Neill, was walking around the property and ringing the video doorbell. The caller also believed the subject to be nude.
Sergeant Chad Williams, Deputy Nick Briles, Officer Cody Poynter and Deputy Joshua Stargell responded and found O’Neill nude. Williams asked where his belongings were and he “never gave a straight answer” as to why he took his clothes off, Stargell’s report said. One reason given O’Neill gave was that he had been given his brother’s clothes to wear after he was released from jail, but he “did not feel worthy enough” to wear them, so took them off while walking through the woods and left them in a creek.
Poynter and Stargell spoke with the inn owner, who was out of state on business. She had received a notification on her phone from the Ring camera on the inn door. When she opened the message, she saw a naked man standing in front of it.
O’Neill was placed under arrest for public nudity. Williams later found the wet clothing in a creek.
O’Neill was charged on March 12 with public nudity, a Class B misdemeanor.
Battery charges filed after domestic dispute
County officers responded to a birthday gathering on Feb. 29 and ended up arresting one of the men in the house.
Deputies Kyle Minor and Colton Magner responded to a call on Burns Lane in Nashville about a dispute. They were met by the caller, and inside, they heard a woman crying and breathing heavily.
Police spoke with Jonathan Willis, 31. He told police that they were celebrating his and another person’s birthdays and that they had been drinking. He and the other man began arguing about money and guns, but he said there was no physical contact. A child also was inside the home.
The caller told police that Willis had placed his hands around his neck. He said that Willis also had pushed a woman in the home, then pulled a knife. The woman told police she did not think Willis needed to go to jail because he was not a bad person and everyone had been drinking.
When Minor told Willis he was being arrested, he became fidgety and moved toward a bedroom. Magner grabbed one of his arms to place behind his back, which he resisted. Once handcuffed, Willis would not stand and kept pulling away from the police, the report said. He was taken to the Brown County jail, where a breath test showed his blood-alcohol content at 0.158, the report said.
On March 9, Willis was formally charged with domestic battery and resisting law enforcement, both Class A misdemeanors.
