From a hooded shoplifter to a woman who accidentally bought salt instead of meth, police saw it all this past week in Smithville. Included in the city’s arrest report:
Riley A Bullard, 53, was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest. Police responded to a suspicious male walking in the roadway on South Mountain Street. Upon arrival, the officer made contact with Bullard and attempted to get him on the sidewalk for his safety. Bullard started cussing and yelling at the officer and implied self-harm. The officer took the necessary steps to get Bullard help which irritated him at which time he tried to assault the officer. While trying to take Bullard into custody, he (Bullard) refused to cooperate and would not place his hands behind his back and would not listen to orders given to him.

Dalton Grady Moore, 25, was arrested for Resisting/Stop/Halt/Frisk. While speaking with an individual in the parking lot of Wal-Mart, the officer observed a subject walk toward him then quickly turn around and walk back inside the store. The subject then exited the store again and appeared to be trying to conceal his identity by pulling his hood over his head and not look in the officer’s direction. Due to the amount of shoplifting cases at this store and suspicious people hanging around the officer approached the subject and made contact with him and noticed his hands in his pockets and asked him if he had any weapons on him and if he would place his hands on his patrol car. The subject then turned and ran into the wooded area behind some houses. The officer then went into Wal-Mart and reviewed camera footage where he was able to identify the subject as Dalton Moore. The officer was able to make contact with Moore and he was taken into custody without further incident.

An officer observed a vehicle enter the Mapco parking lot and when it started to leave it backed up into the parking lot and pulled to the diesel fuel pump and sat there for an extended amount of time which seemed suspicious. Upon making contact with the driver Angelina Farley, the officer was informed there was an illegal weapon hanging from the mirror which was a pair of brass knuckles. The officer asked and was given consent to search and found 0.07 grams of a crystal substance in her purse that field tested positive for Methamphetamine.

Upon asking Tittle and his passenger, Bouldin what the substance was they informed him that it was salt. Upon investigation it was discovered that Bouldin was given $25 from Tittle to buy Methamphetamine.
