Florence & White Ford and the Ford Motor Company are again offering DCHS Football the opportunity to raise thousands of dollars with their annual test drive program on Friday, August 3. Tiger football fans can earn money for the DCHS football program by simply test-driving a new Ford at the school.

It’s the annual “Community Football Night” out at DCHS and fans are invited to come as early as 4:00 p.m. to purchase a barbeque meal and to test drive a new Ford vehicle by the Florence & White dealership in Smithville. For every valid test drive, Ford will donate $20 to the football program. The more fans who come out and test drive a new Ford vehicle, the more money will be made for DCHS football.

The Tigers will play a scrimmage game that night hosting Friendship Christian.

This week the Tigers will be in full pads in a scrimmage Friday, July 27 at Gordonsville at 6 p.m.

The season kicks off with two straight home games for the Tigers starting with Warren County on August 17th followed by Upperman on August 24. The first road game is at Stone Memorial on August 31. All games start at 7:00 p.m. WJLE will have LIVE coverage each week.

A convicted felon found with drugs and a weapon last fall appeared for sentencing last Tuesday, July 17 in DeKalb County Criminal Court.

43 year old Patty Sue Tatrow entered a plea by criminal information to possession of a schedule II controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver and possession of a weapon by a felon. She received a 10 year sentence in the drug case and 6 years for the weapon charge. The terms are to run concurrently with each other and with a Warren County case against her. Tatrow is to serve one year and then the sentence is to be suspended to supervised probation. She was given 23 days jail credit. Tatrow must forfeit the weapon and she was fined $2,000.

Tatrow was arrested on Wednesday, October 18, 2017 for possession of methamphetamine for resale and she was cited for simple possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. After observing a vehicle stopped in the road way, police conducted a welfare check. Both the driver and passenger, Tatrow said that they were on probation and consented for the officer and a county deputy to do a search. In Tatrow’s possession, the officers found 2.8 grams of a clear crystal substance which field tested positive for methamphetamine along with .112 ounces of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana. Tatrow also had 19 baggies, two glass pipes, and a set of digital scales in the same container with the methamphetamine and marijuana. She was then taken into custody without incident.

Tatrow was arrested again the following month and charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver and unlawful possession of a weapon. She was further cited for simple possession of schedule II & VI drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 two detectives went to a residence on McMinnville Highway to pick up Tatrow on an active warrant. Upon entering her bedroom, they spotted a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana on a small mirror and a marijuana cigarette on her dresser. A further search of the room turned up several bags of a green leafy substance believed to be marijuana. The bags weighed 6.3 grams; 0.01 gram; and 8.25 ounces. They also found in Tatrow’s wallet a small baggie which held a clear rock like substance believed to be methamphetamine ice which weighed 0.82 grams. Two sets of digital scales were found and a 22 caliber handgun was recovered from a nightstand next to her bed. Tatrow is a 2005 Warren County convicted felon.
