Repo dispute
leads to charges
A Lenoir City man was taken to Loudon
County Jail after deputies responded to a call of an assault with a
weapon along U.S. Highway 321.
Loudon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy
Craig Brewer learned that a man had come to a residence in the 9300
block of Highway 321 to repossess a vehicle that belongs to the
girlfriend of Erskine Andy Hunt, 35, Lenoir City.
While talking to witnesses on the
scene, Brewer found that Hunt had gotten into an argument with
the man over the vehicle.
“According to witnesses, Mr. Hunt
came out of the residence with a hatchet in hand threatening
(the man),” Brewer wrote in the police report. “According to
them, Mr. Hunt then got a knife and while arguing made lunging
motions toward (the man) putting him (in) fear.”
A knife was found in the driver’s
floorboard of the vehicle, and the hatchet was found in the
passenger seat.
Hunt was charged with aggravated
assault and held on $15,000 bond.
Lenoir City man nabbed on
drugs
A routine speeding stop on U.S.
Highway 321 led to the arrest of a Lenoir City man for
possession of marijuana.
Seeing a red Ford Explorer going
58 in a 40 mph zone, Lenoir City Police Officer Jason Arden
pulled over the driver, Miguel A. Quintana-Rodriguez, 24, Lenoir
City, who smelled of marijuana, according to Arden’s report.
Arden asked Quintana-Rodriguez if
he had marijuana in the vehicle, and the driver said he did not,
but Quintana-Rodriguez did say that he had smoked the drug
earlier in the day.
Quintana-Rodriguez was asked to
step out of the SUV, and as he approached the patrol car, the
man said, “I’ll be honest with you, there is marijuana in the
truck,” according to Arden’s report.
The man told police that he had about 4 ounces of
marijuana between the console and the passenger floorboard of
the vehicle. After obtaining consent to search the vehicle,

ounce bags of a leafy substance believed to be marijuana.
