Two arrested on drug charges

Posted

Two suspects were arrested on drug charges during a traffic stop Tuesday in Shelbyville.
Juan Nunez Mendiola, 18, of Cherokee Trail allegedly ran a traffic light at South Cannon Boulevard and West Holland Street as Officer Ramon Castillo observed.

Castillo was aware Nunez was wanted for aggravated burglary and took him into investigative custody; a records check showed another warrant for theft over $1,000.

An alleged marijuana odor led Castillo to search the vehicle and question its owner, passenger Monica Juan, 19, of East Highland Avenue.

The search by Castillo and Officer Brock Horner revealed packages containing 9 grams of marijuana, scales, a grinder, three vaping cartridges labeled as containing THC, 10 packages allegedly containing cannabis, $494 cash and three cellphones.

Nunex told police all the items confiscated belonged to him.

Juan “remained quiet,” Castillo’s report said.

New charges of possession of a schedule VI drug with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and running a red light were filed against Nunez. He was held on $62,500 bond.

Juan was charged with possession/sale of a schedule VI drug and possession of drug paraphernalia, and held on $12,500 bond.

Shoplifting

“I don’t know why I did this, it just happened,” a woman accused of attempting to take more than $750 worth of items from Walmart without paying told Shelbyville police Tuesday.

Victoria Herrod allegedly swapped tags with cheaper ones on several items while not scanning others at a self-checkout lane. She was cited and ordered not to return.

Theft

Five Hot Wheels cars were stolen from a shed at a Riverview Drive home overnight Sunday, police were told.
