Suspects brag about stealing $1,900 from wallet

Sunday, September 27, 2009
A wallet containing $1,900 in $100 bills and several more $20 bills was taken from a Tillett's Trailer Park home overnight Wednesday, police said.

The victim named two suspects who he was told were bragging about spending the money, police said.

City building entered

Fifteen gallons of gas were stolen from a truck and money taken from two vending machines overnight Wednesday at the Shelbyville Public Works building, Industrial Parkway, police said.

Investigators said entry may have been gained through an unlocked window.

Drug charge

A drug suspect handed over marijuana when asked if he had illegal substances in his car Wednesday night, police said.

John Maurice Miller III, 34, Sims Road, was in the car outside a Maplewood Drive home when Officer Waymond Boyd was checking on another matter at the home.

Boyd said he noticed Miller "doing a lot of moving around," checked the car and saw a switchblade knife in the back seat.

Miller gave Boyd a bag containing 2.19 grams of marijuana and the pipe he used to smoke the substance.

Charges of possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a weapon were filed against Miller, who posted $5,000 bond.
