Approximately 3.5 grams of methamphetamine and several non-prescribed pills were confiscated from a suspect Friday morning, Shelbyville police said.
A driver was clocked at 43 mph in a 35 mph zone at 4:25 a.m. on North Main Street. The driver, who wasn’t charged, told a 911 dispatcher he was driving a friend with a medical emergency to Vanderbilt Bedford Hospital.
Officer Bailey Dineen followed them to the hospital and later questioned the man with the medical problem, a police report said.
The man, Charles Jackson Dempsey, 29, of Center Street in Normandy, said he had been given a pill at a Shelbyville home and remembered nothing afterwards.
A nurse trying to find identification on Dempsey found bags containing the pills and meth, police said.
Dempsey was charged with possession of schedule II and IV drugs and was held on $6,000 bond after his hospital release.
