News Herald Arrest Report

Deputies respond to public disturbance

A Loudon woman is facing multiple charges after law enforcement responded to a public disturbance on Halloween.

After the call came in at 4:23 p.m. Thursday, Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Clay Jenkins, Sgt. Chris Hutchens and Deputy Tony Branson responded to Williams Ferry Road in reference to a suspicious person.

Deputies were told Michele Lea Smith, 43, had been trying to fight multiple people and running into the road while screaming and stopping cars. Smith was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after Smith smelled strongly of alcohol.
“I also observed Ms. Smith become combative with Sgt. Hutchens by attempting to kick him and screaming obscenities at him,” Jenkins wrote in a report.
Smith resisted arrest and refused to get into the patrol unit, and deputies had to force her into the vehicle.
A woman told officers that Smith had called and asked her to pick her up. She said Smith began to “hit her vehicle, hit her and also began trying to choke her,” Jenkins wrote. Jenkins observed red marks and scratches on the right side of the woman’s face and neck. She said Smith had been drinking whiskey.
Officers then met a witness who said Smith was in the road when he came home and was unfamiliar with who Smith was. The witness said Smith began to beat on his truck. Whenever he got out of his vehicle, Smith started to curse and spit on him.
“Ms. Smith was found to have Hepatitis C,” Jenkins wrote. “… Michele advised officers that she had taken a bad dose of heroin.”
Smith was charged with aggravated assault, criminal exposure to Hepatitis C, disorderly conduct, domestic assault-felony, public intoxication and resisting arrest and held without bond.
