Read comments (16)Glen James Green, 26, Barksdale Lane, posted bond at Bedford County Jail, Detective Billy Smith of the Bedford County Sheriff's Department said.
Green allegedly bought a 1973 Chevrolet pickup truck for $500 from a Shelbyville resident, falsified its serial number, then asked another man to tow the truck to the scrap metal firm and sell it in his own name, Smith said.
A 1973 Ford pickup truck, with a listed value of $600, was bought by Green under "false pretenses," Smith said. Green allegedly sold the truck the same day to an automotive shop, which Smith said sold it to a recycling firm.
Tracking a trailer
A trail of cans led investigators to a recycling trailer stolen from the Senior Citizens Center, Helton Drive, Shelbyville police said.
The trailer, stolen late Tuesday night, was recovered near the same area off Cannon Road near Wartrace where a slain woman's body was found in June, said Officer Bobby Peacock of the Shelbyville Police Department.
Peacock said he followed the cans to Cannon Road, then down a dirt path to the trailer.
Detective Smith was credited by Peacock with helping in the investigation.
A witness told police occupants of a dark colored Ford Ranger truck seemed to be "casing" the center area, then came back and left with the trailer around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
Drug arrests
Two persons were arrested on drug charges Monday night after police were notified of possible narcotics being sold in the parking lot of the Kangaroo/Golden Gallon store, Madison Street.
Melissa Odea, 20, Fairground Heights, allegedly handed over marijuana, Xanax and Hydrocodone pills, police said, after being asked by an officer if she had any drugs in her possession.
Odea was charged with possession of schedule II, IV and VI drugs. She is being held on $3,000 bond at Bedford County Jail, records indicate.
One Xanax pill was allegedly found in a door handle of a car driven by Jimmy Lee Hanley, 20, U.S. 41-A South, who officers allege "attempted to drive off" as they arrived.
Hanley was charged with possession of a schedule IV drug and released on $1,000 bond.

dear tn.moonshiner,
I couldn't agree with you more. Some drs.,not all, but a majority of them hand out pain medication like its nothing. People are getting more and more addicted to it. I knew of a lady in the area that was claiming disability and recieving TennCare. She received food stamps yet worked for cash somewhere. She was getting her pain medication free and then turning around and selling it for money. That is not right! She was later turned in to the Dept. of Human Services, but of course they didn't do anything about it. I'm sure she is still doing the same thing.
quanumcat you are not exactly right with the comment "there is a small chance of addiction when people are in agony". My wife has had twelve back surgeries. she suffered from permanent nerve damage and was reffered to a pain clinic. these people treated her for three years.it started with hydrocodone then escalated to fentanyl lozenges. they never could ease the pain in her legs and lower back. she was on soma,moraphine,and these lozenges at one time. their answer to not being able to control pain with these drugs was to increase the dosage. she was very addicted to these drugs. they made her a different person,she finnaly got off these drugs and is dealing with the pain.where i was going with this is these clinics give out medication like candy. all you have to do is tell them you are hurting and they give you what you want. then these people sell the medication for good money.
Most of the time,these people aren't selling their own drugs - or even what the purchaser hopes he's getting.
A patient will have his drugs stolen or adulterated so the active ingredient can be cut and peddled to dozens of victims.
Sometimes,a patient may sell one pill with street value in order to pay for other prescriptions,rent,utilities,medical bills or whatever he or his family might need.
Thefts aren't confined to picking up a person's drugs when they die or go to the hospital or nursing home.
Nor is it limited to stealing from Grandma's nightstand.
Shortages occur even within medical care facilities with patients getting little or no relief from the meds they are given because most of their assigned dosage has been diverted elsewhere.
One side effect of diluted pills is that when a person does get hold of a full-strength version of a controlled substance,they assume they're going to get the weak effect of lesser pills or placebos.
Instead,they may get ten times the amount they're used to receiving and suffer an overdose.
Who knows how many people have assumed that their ailment (stones,cancer,burns,sickle cell,back pain,shingles,etc.) was serious enough to require popping Vicodin like Tic-Tacs when they were getting less pain relief than what might be found in an over-the-counter medication?
The deserving patient needs to insist on adequate pain control whatever that might require.
That might mean checking to see if the tablets,shots,etc. they receive contain what they should.
There is small chance of addiction when people are really in agony.
(The body uses up the drug too fast.)
Adequate doses of prescriptions,the use of pumps,bio-feedback,hypnosis,TENS units,deadening or destroying nerves,etc. can improve quality of life for people with severe or chronic pain and decrease depression or attempts to self-medicate with street drugs or alcohol.
If more attention is paid to getting the right therapies for the patient,there may be less chance of necessary treatment materials winding up creating addicts among those looking for a high instead of relief from physical and mental torment.
rebelrose,
My mother goes through tons of pain and can't get them, she gets kidney stones very often. Yet when she gets the stones, she is told to take tylenol. Well I can tell you this, I don't think Tylenol will relieve the pain of that. I feel bad for any legitimate people that go through the ongoing pain and can't get the relief they need to just sleep at night or to function enough to work.
What is a real shame is that these people that get these drugs from their doctor or who ever and then go out and sale them ...make it very very hard for people that do need them. thru all my sickness when I needed something for pain I had to go thru heck and paper work and it was very hard to get these drugs from the doctor...I do not understand how these people are getting them and then sale them on the street....What kind of doctor are they going to ????
what they r talking about is he bought the trucks and altering the v.i.n. numbers.that way he could take that vin. number and put on another stolen vehicle and sell it. there is only one thing i dont understand about that cituation. why let him keep making bond when he is just going to do it again and again until he is locked up in jail or prison. so put no bond on it and be done with it. atleast put 10 to 20 thousand dollars bonds on them
The Bell Buckle bunch don't work... Crack is what they had on them.... It's the first of the month and time for the food stamp sale.
And for your reading Pleasure here is a chart published by the DEA that tells about each drug how it is used, the effects and the Schedule it is..
http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/abuse/ch...
Oh really? well it came directly from the Drug Enforcement Administration webpage.
http://www.justice.gov/dea/pubs/abuse/1-...
Is it just me, or did the top story make no sense?
The guy bought a truck and then sold it for scrap.
Did he also sell the same truck to someone else?
Bought under false pretenses? What the heck does that mean?
Please don't quote the law if you aren't sure. Dianatn isn't exactly correct, but she is on the right track.
The drug task force doesn't go after the little guys, the normally nail the suppliers and the bosses. At least, thats what they do in all the shows.
The 17th judicial task force works 4 counties...sometimes it takes months even years to to get enough evidence to make a bust...you may never see them...but they are definetly working...
* Examples of Schedule I substances include heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana, and methaqualone.
Examples of Schedule II substances include morphine, phencyclidine (PCP), cocaine, methadone, and methamphetamine.
Anabolic steroids, codeine and hydrocodone with aspirin or Tylenol®, and some barbiturates are examples of Schedule III substances.
* Examples of drugs included in schedule IV are Darvon®, Talwin®, Equanil®, Valium®, and Xanax®.
* Cough medicines with codeine are examples of Schedule V drugs
Kinda makes you wonder what the drug task force is doing huh? I dont know what the differences are between the drugs. It looks like we have a serious problem though, between DUIs and drug charges.
Holy crap, thats alot of drug charges. What that difference between Schedule II, III, and IV? It that the severity of the type of drugs?
People seem to have alot of money to pay bonds, wonder where they work.
