The marijuana odor from a suspect’s car Friday was so strong a police officer in a vehicle behind was smelling it, a report said.
Officer Tracy Teal stopped Makaia Latise Bowen, 20, of Brooklyn Circle, for allegedly not wearing a seat belt. A search of the vehicle by Teal and Officer Andrew Koehler revealed two “large plastic bags” containing marijuana, 50 marijuana packaging bags and $680 in $20 bills, Teal’s report said.
Shane George, director of the 17th Judicial District Drug Task Force, said texts on Bowen’s cell phone allegedly mentioned drug sales.
Bowen was charged with possession of a schedule 6 drug for resale, possession of drug paraphernalia and a seat belt violation. She posted $6,500 bond.
Thefts
•A newly-purchased pressure washer was stolen between Wednesday and Friday from a storage room in a shop at a home in the 1400 block of Union Street, police said.
A suspect was named.
•A cell phone was taken from a table in the front yard of a Colonial Avenue home Friday. A suspect was named.
•More than $1,000 worth of merchandise allegedly stolen from Walmart was recovered Sunday from an Old Nashville Dirt Road home.
Duane Fetter, 50, of Hickory Drive has been charged with theft of property and possession of drug paraphernalia after a meth pipe was allegedly found on him when arrested.
Fetter and a man identified as Tyler Anderson were involved in the alleged theft, police said. Surveillance video shown by store loss prevention personnel shows one man distracting an employee and another pushing a cart out the garden center door.
An officer who asked to search the home allegedly saw Diana Giroux, 45, of Hickory Drive, piling unopened items onto a recliner. Giroux is charged with tampering with evidence. She was held on $7,500 bond.
A shoplifting warrant was issued for Anderson.
•An estimated $138 worth of merchandise was taken Saturday from Walmart by a woman identified as Socorro Mayra Canales, 63, of Green Lane, police said.
Immigration records showed Canales os a “deported criminal/aggravated felon.” Security video shows Canales pushing a cart past security devices while talking on her cellphone.
Records show Canales has used several alises, carried a fake California driver’s license and has three forged Social Security cards. She was charged with criminal simulation and shoplifting and detained for immigration authorities.
•Samantha Marie Ahnefeld was charged with shoplifting Friday when allegedly seen trying to hide $38 worth of clothing and leave Walmart without paying.
Wrong time for wheelie
A motorcycle rider was charged Sunday morning after allegedly attempting to perform a “wheelie” on Madison Street — in view of a Shelbyville police officer who was also on a bike.
Johnny B. Warner Jr., 52, of Madison Street, told Officer Tracy Teal he was “trying to have some fun.” Warner’s license is revoked due to a DUI conviction, police said.
Warner was charged with reckless driving and driving on a revoked license and posted $3,500 bond.
