Man faces multiple charges after

An Eidson man was taken to Loudon County Jail over the weekend on DUI and drug paraphernalia charges after being involved in a collision along U.S. Highway 321.

Dispatched to a call of a hit-and-run at the intersection of Highways 321 and 444, Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Charles Huskin spoke with the driver, Christopher Jerome Lyons, 24, Eidson, who was stopped at Tellico Saddle dam on Highway 444. When questioned by deputies, Lyons initially denied being involved in a wreck on Highway 321 and said he was just changing a flat tire.

Huskin noticed damage to the left side of Lyons’ vehicle.

Later while speaking with officers, Lyons eventually said that another driver ran into him on the highway, and because his license was revoked for a previous driving under the influence charge, he “got scared and ran,” according to Huskin’s report.

After Sgt. Jerramie Bowen arrived on the scene, deputies searched Lyons’ vehicle and found a glass pipe commonly used to smoke methamphetamine and multiple unopened Suboxone packets, according to the arrest report. Lyons performed poorly on field sobriety tests and displayed signs of intoxication.

Lyons was charged with driving under the influence-third offense, leaving the scene of an accident, driving on a revoked license, possession of drug paraphernalia and simple possession and released on $10,000 bond.
