Gregory R. Stewart was initially stopped for a window tint violation by Officer Ramon Castillo. A search was conducted after Castillo said he smelled marijuana.

Stewart was charged with driving on a revoked license, simple possession of a schedule 6 drug and a window tint violation, Bond was set at $4,000.

Fast pursuit

A 16-year-old boy who told police he was “tired” and wanted to get home allegedly tried to outrun a Shelbyville police officer at high speed late Sunday night.

The boy was clocked at 76 mph in a 50 mph zone on North Main Street by Officer Jonathan Evans.
