A Tullahoma woman and a Winchester man are facing multiple drug charges after a compliant of suspicious vehicle sitting in the parking lot of a business on South Jackson Street Wednesday night.

Teresa Louise Garvin, 51, of Tanglewood Drive, Tullahoma was charged with possession of schedule II, possession of schedule IV and possession of drug paraphernalia. Charles Terrance Brooks, 52, Winchester was charged with possession of schedule II and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to a report by Tullahoma Police Officer Rocky Ruehling alleged in a report that he found the pair sitting in a vehicle and he detected the smell of “burnt marijuana” coming from the van.

When the officer searched the vehicle he allegedly found 31 prescription pills, twenty one syringes, two straws with drug residue and six baggies of white powder which was identified as methamphetamines and digital scales.

Since the couple was found in the Franklin County section of Tullahoma they were booked into the Franklin County Jail.

Preliminary figures from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security show 13 people were killed in traffic crashes in Tennessee roadways during this year’s 96-hour Memorial Day holiday period. This is a drop from the 19 fatalities that occurred during the 2011 Memorial Day holiday weekend and the same number of deaths as 2010.
There were 10 crashes that resulted in 13 fatalities. Six crashes were single vehicle wrecks, while four of them were multiple car crashes. Ten of the people killed were vehicle occupants and three were motorcyclists. Five of the ten (50 percent) vehicle occupants killed were not wearing safety restraints.
In 1973, 26 people were killed in traffic crashes in Tennessee during the 78-hour Memorial Day holiday period, the highest number of deaths on record. The lowest number of deaths occurred when five people were killed in traffic crashes during the 2002 Memorial Day 78-hour period.
During this year’s Memorial Day enforcement period, the THP made 94 impaired driving arrests statewide. They also issued 1,139 seat belt and child restraint device citations, 1,500 speeding and 511 registration violations.
As of May 31, 2012, there have been 397 people killed on Tennessee roadways, 26 more fatalities compared to this same time last year. The last two months have shown a decrease in vehicular deaths compared to the same months in 2011, with 21 and 10 fewer fatalities in April and May, respectively.

Officers arrested two men suspected of packaging over 5 pounds of mushrooms, possibly to be sold at next week’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn.

Police received reports of one man selling the psychedelic mushrooms out of his North Clarksville home. Agents from the Drug Task force found the drugs inside the suspect’s home inside a hollowed out spare tire, with several shipping boxes with Bonnaroo-themed t-shirts inside with a mushroom design on them. Investigators say they think the drugs were heading to Bonnaroo.

A Smyrna resident was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals Wednesday. 29-year-old Jeffery Jeffrey Wayne Pryor was arrested at Lakewood Park in Coffee County by the Marshals along with Billy Cook of the D.A. office and Sgt. Danny Ferrell of the Coffee County sheriff’s department on federal parole violation charges and an ATF weapons charge. Pryor also is facing charges locally after being arrested by Arnold Police for possession of a weapon. He also is accused of being involved in a stabbing incident in neighboring Warren County.

Two suspects are facing felony vandalism charges after a destructive trip through a high school in Franklin County.

Investigators said James Morrison and Luis Flores broke into Huntland High School and did $14,000 in damage.

The suspects were caught a few hours after the break-in and told detectives they did it because they were bored.

The vandals destroyed part of the school’s ceiling, falling through several times while trying to crawl to access offices. Other damage included busted windows, doors, televisions and computers.

If they’re found guilty, Morrison and Flores will have to pay for the damage.-WSMV-
