Fire destroys Covered Bridge Estates home

An early morning blaze Sunday destroyed a home in Covered Bridge Estates subdivision near Bell Buckle, according to Volunteer Fire Services Inc.

The Roy Haddock family's residence on Mountain View Road was a "total loss," a VFSI spokesperson said.

Cause of the fire was uncertain but VFSI investigators determined it started in the kitchen.

Firefighters from Bell Buckle, Wartrace, Unionville and the main VFSI station responded.

Pot in jail

* A Shelbyville man was charged after marijuana was allegedly found in his possession as he was being booked into Bedford County Jail Friday night, police said.

Bryan Gonzalez Martinez, 21, of Shelbyville had a paper towel containing .37 grams of marijuana in a pants pocket, Officer Jody Shelton's report said

Martinez was charged with public intoxication, simple possession and introducing contraband into a penal institution. He is being held on $4,500 bond.

The suspect was a passenger in a car driven by Carlos Perez Lopez, 23, of Ward Circle, who Shelton said attempted to kick a window out of his patrol car after arrest. Lopez was charged with DUI, no driver's license/exhibited on demand, vandalism, and violations of the financial responsibility and implied consent laws. He is being held on $3,000 bond.

Filiberto Perez, 19, of Ward Circle, who was allegedly a passenger in the car, was charged with public intoxication and released on $500 bond.

* A bag containing 3.27 grams of marijuana was found in a "hidden pocket" in pants worn by Gustavo Marquez, 28, of Shelbyville as he was being booked into the jail following a DUI arrest Saturday afternoon, police said.

Marquez was stopped for alleged erratic driving on McDale Lane, Moore said. A bag containing 7.30 grams of marijuana and some "roaches" was visible in the car and was recovered by Officer Jose Garza.

Multiple seeds and stems were found in the car's seat and floorboard, several "roaches" were in the ash tray and rolling papers in the seat, Moore said.

"Is it the same if I smoked a lot of marijuana, does that make it DUI?" Marquez allegedly asked when the Tennessee implied consent law was explained to him. The implied consent law provides that someone who refuses to submit to officer-requested blood and/or breath tests can lose their license for a year.

Marquez was charged with DUI, possession of schedule VI drug, driving on revoked/suspended license, implied consent law, introducing contraband into penal institution; released, $9,500 bond

Drug arrest

Marijuana was found in a tea cup after police watched its alleged owner strike a utility pole with his truck Saturday night on Madison Street, reports indicate.

Officers had been notified of a truck matching the description of one driven by Bruce Howard Stevens, 58, of Shelbyville. Officer Jon Cooke said he followed Stevens and watched as the truck's mirror shattered upon contact with the pole.

Stevens allowed a vehicle search during which the marijuana was found, police said. He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and simple possession and posted $2,000 bond at Bedford County Jail.
