The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department made a few arrests last week, including a woman who was swimming at a local nursery’s pond, naked.
Sheriff Patrick Ray told the Smithville Review that on July 21, 41-year-old Christie Dawn Bouldin of Wigwam Street, Sparta, was arrested for public intoxication. She is under a $2,000 bond and she is due to appear in court on August 11.
A deputy responded to Simpson’s Nursery on a report of a female subject swimming nude in their pond. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with Bouldin, who reportedly had abnormal behavior and could not stand still. The woman was also reportedly very belligerent while speaking to the deputy. For her safety and the public’s safety, she was placed in custody for public intoxication.
On July 23, 40-year-old Brandon Scott Dale of Beersheba Highway, McMinnville, was arrested for driving under the influence second offense. He is set to appear in court on August 11.
A sheriff’s deputy received a call about a reckless driver on Sparta Highway (Highway 70). The deputy made contact with a red Ford F-150 that had failed to maintain its lane of travel several times.
After conducting a traffic stop and making contact with the driver, Dale, the deputy reported that the man had red, glassy eyes and a strong odor of alcohol coming from his person. He also had an open container of whiskey sitting in the passenger seat.
Dale reportedly admitted to consuming alcohol earlier in the night. The deputy then requested that the man perform standardized field sobriety tasks, but Dale refused. He was then placed under arrest.
That same day, 32-year-old Jerry David Cantrell of Adcock Cemetery Road, Smithville, was arrested for violation of an order of protection and resist, stop, halt, search or arrest. He is under an $11,000 bond and will be in court on August 11.
Sheriff Ray said that Cantrell had gone to an address on Adcock Cemetery Road and beat on the door of the residence several times. Authorities say that he was under an active order of protection, ordering him to stay away from the residence.
As a deputy was attempting to place Cantrell under arrest for the violation, he fled on foot. He was later captured.
