Several arrests were made and citations issued this past week by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department. Included in law enforcement actions:

Sherry Gunter, 36, and Darrell Wayne Newby, 42, were both arrested for criminal trespassing and cited for simple possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.

They were arrested when deputies were sent to Neil Drive to investigate a possible break in. When they arrived they found the two suspects there and were told by the owner that no one should be at the residence. Upon taking them into custody, officers found .06 grams of meth, 20 hypodermic needles, grinders and scales.

Randal E. Tittle, 48, was charged with theft. The Liberty resident is charged with taking a Champion generator from a worksite off Highway 70.

John Michael Turner, 49, was charged with public intoxication. His charges come after deputies were called to a residence on A.B. Frazier Road. The officers learned that Turner was combative toward ambulance personnel who were there on a call.

“He was cursing at law enforcement and EMS,” said Sheriff Patrick Ray. “He was warned to calm down.”

Noting his aggression and failure to obey orders, he was arrested on the spot.

Robin Lynn Woodard, 33, of Gordonsville was charged with criminal impersonation and evading arrest. She was a passenger a vehicle pulled over for failing to stop at a stop sign. When asked for an identification, she gave the officer another woman’s Identification. While the deputy was running the I.D., Woodard fled the area on foot and was able to give officers the slip for the time being. She later admitted running from the law.
Tabitha Martin, 32, of Dowelltown was charged with violating an order of protection. Deputies went to the residence and asked the woman there if Martin was inside. The woman denied Martin was there and gave them permission to search.

“They found her hiding in a bedroom closet,” the sheriff revealed, noting there was an order of protection against her filed by the resident. “The woman claimed she (Martin) must have come in while she was sleeping.”

Garrett Michael Johnson, 24, was charged with public intoxication and aggravated criminal trespass.

He was charged after officers went to Wenger Lane to investigate a prowler call. They found the garage door to the residence open and discovered Johnson inside. He admitted using drugs and knowing he was not supposed to be there. The door to the garage had been warped and an inside door pried open.
