A 35-year-old McMinnville man was arrested by city police last week after a hit-and-run accident resulted in the alleged discovery of a meth lab in his vehicle. Marlin Ray Pinkard was charged with aggravated assault, evading arrest, and a fifth offense of driving on a revoked license after hitting a local man with his car following a disagreement on April 11. Police said Pinkard struck Johnny Murphy in front of Murphy's Hayes Street residence, and after he was apprehended he was found to be in possession of several illegal items.
