A substance Shelbyville police suspect is marijuana was confiscated from a man at an Anthony Lane apartment complex parking lot Thursday.
The complex manager had police check an unfamiliar vehicle. Officer Chris Vest said he smelled a strong marijuana odor coming from its interior.
Ahmed Abdullahi Osman, 23, of Ridgeway Avenue, the driver, allegedly insisted he had CBD, not marijuana, and handed Vest a small plastic bag containing the green leafy substance.
Vest explained CBD must be kept in its original container rather than unmarked bags, according to law. A glass jar containing more of the substance was found under the passenger seat.
Osman was charged with possession of a schedule VI drug and released on $2,500 bond.
Roberto Antonio Orellana, 35, of East Lane Street had the marijuana in his clothing, police said. He allegedly stomped a meth pipe in an attempt to break it after it fell into his lap as he was being searched. The stomp came after an officer’s order not to touch the pipe.
Orellana was charged with possession of a schbedule II drug and paraphernalia, tampering with evidence, sixth offense driving on a revoked license, registration violation, and having no insurance. He was held on $17,000 bond.
Scam attempt
A Bedford County man told a deputy a new Facebook friend he’d sent a nude photo threatened blackmail after he refused to give her money.
The woman, who had claimed she was an adult, alleged she was a 15-year-old girl and was going to send his photo and her claim to “the media.” He said the woman had sent him a photo of a obviously-adult female she claimed was herself.
Media outlets do not print or broadcast such accusations unless charges have been filed with law enforcement.

The men allegedly walk day and night throwing rocks at mailboxes and goats.

The following were charged since Monday by the Shelbyville Police Department, Bedford County Sheriff’s Office, Tennessee Highway Patrol or 17th Judicial District Drug Task Force. They are only charged; guilt or innocence will be determined by the courts.
