Speeding driver endangers trick-or-treaters

An unlicensed driver accused of speeding down a residential street filled with trick-or-treaters was arrested after allegedly trying to elude a police officer on foot, reports indicate.

Javier C. Hernandez-Tavera, 20, of Saddlewood Drive, was clocked at 49 mph in a 30 mph zone on Davis Street Saturday night, Officer Waymond Boyd said.

Hernandez-Tavera turned into a driveway on Lindell Boulevard, got out of his truck and ran into a fenced back yard where he was arrested, according to Boyd.

The suspect allegedly told Boyd he had no time to obtain a driver's license.

Several persons confronted Boyd over the arrest before following orders to move on, police said.

Hernandez was charged with reckless driving, no driver's license and evading arrest and posted $4,000 bond, Bedford County Jail records show.

Dangerous 'woods'

Nearby woods may have been "haunted" Saturday night but any ghosts at Shelbyville Recreation Center weren't tough enough to scare away a thief.

Clothing and cash were taken from a workers' room in the Rec Center between 10:15 and 10:45 p.m. by a suspect seen riding away on a bicycle which had also been in the room, Shelbyville police said.

The Haunted Woods festivities were in progress at H.V. Griffin Park during the time in which the room was entered.

Drug charges

*Over 22 grams of marijuana were found in a coat worn by a man who told police he was unaware of its contents early Sunday.

The find followed a traffic stop in which Daniel Devon Chunn, 27, West Highland Street, was stopped on Colloredo Boulevard for driving without lights, police said.

Chunn allegedly initially gave officers a false name and date of birth and failed sobriety tests, the report said.

Officers found 2.92 grams of marijuana in the coat and a corrections officer later discoved 19.62 grams as Chunn was being booked into Bedford County Jail.

Chunn, who tested .084 on an intoximeter at Shelbyville Police Department, told arresting officers the coat belongs to someone else.

He was charged with DUI, criminal impersonation, simple possession and no driver's license/exhibited on demand and is being held without bond.

*Two marijuana cigarettes were confiscated from a car driven by Mistala Leigh Cook, 36, El Bethel Road, after a traffic stop at 9:17 p.m. Saturday, police said.

Cook was clocked at 45 mph in a 30 mph zone on North Main Street, police said.

One of the cigarettes was in Cook's purse and another in the driver's side door and rolling papers were found in her clothing, according to police, and a White Russian mixed drink was near the car's console.

Cook was charged with simple possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding and open container and posted $2,000 bond.

The report didn't indicate if the truck was locked.

Two child booster seats were listed as stolen from an unlocked van on Fairway Green Drive.

*A GPS unit, approximately 35 compact discs and DVDs, a digital camera, voice recorder and cell phone were stolen Thursday from one vehicle and a cardboard box from another in the city-owned parking lot on South Main Street across from Shelbyville Power, Water and Sewerage System, police said.
