A Smithville man was caught twice in less than two weeks for driving on a revoked license. The first time he was also found with methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Monday, October 1 a deputy stopped a vehicle on Sparta Highway. The officer learned that the license of the driver, Sullivan  had been revoked for a DUI on March 14, 2016.  A search of Sullivan’s vehicle turned up 0.9 grams of a crystal like substance believed to be methamphetamine. A set of scales, baggies, and a glass pipe  were also found in the automobile.

Sullivan was cited again on Saturday October 13 after a deputy spotted his Chevy Trailblazer stop over the white line in the intersection on South Congress Boulevard, Smithville. The officer stopped to investigate and found the driver to be Sullivan, who was again driving on a revoked license. He was further cited for violation of a traffic control device. He will make a court appearance on those citations November 8.

34 year old Rhonda Joy Goff of Adams Street, Smithville was cited for possession of a schedule III drug (suboxone). Her court date is November 8.

Sheriff Ray said that on Sunday, October 14 a deputy confronted Goff on West Broad Street. She had active state warrants against her. The officer found on Goff a crushed orange pill believed to be suboxone.

A Walling man who crashed his car and fled the scene following a law enforcement pursuit was apprehended two days later after assaulting another officer who was trying to arrest him.

48 year old David Wayne Kirby is charged in the first incident with evading arrest in a motor vehicle and failing to give immediate notice of an accident. His bond on those charges totals $6,000. In the second incident, Kirby faces another charge of evading arrest; resisting stop, frisk, halt, arrest, or search; criminal impersonation; and assault. Kirby’s bond on those charges is $16,000. He will make a court appearance on all charges October 25.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Sunday, October 7 a deputy tried to make a traffic stop on a 2014 Smart car driven by Kirby. The officer activated his emergency lights and siren but Kirby failed to stop. The car went off the roadway and struck a fence, causing damage to the property. After the crash, Kirby left the scene.

Two days later on Tuesday, October 9, Kirby was confronted by another deputy who responded to Whorton Springs Road in reference to a suspicious person in the area. When asked to identify himself, Kirby gave the officer a name and date of birth, which was not on file with central dispatch. After further questioning by the officer, Kirby tried to flee. When the deputy grabbed him, Kirby resisted and punched the officer in the forehead. The deputy ultimately got control of Kirby and placed him in custody.
