A woman who allegedly broke into an outbuilding and stole a mini bike before pawning it last summer has been arrested.

36 year old Shelly Nicole Brown of Brown Lane is charged with burglary and theft of property. Her bond is $12,500 and she will be in court March 12.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on August 20, 2019 Brown broke into an outbuilding on Brown Lane and stole an orange and black KTM mini bike valued at $1,500 and pawned it at K&K Pawn Shop in McMinnville.

The case was investigated by a Sheriff’s Department Detective.

51 year old John Michael Turner, Sr. of A.B. Frazier Road is charged with violation of an order of protection. His bond is $3,500 and he will be in court March 5.

Sheriff Ray said that on February 24 a deputy was called to the home of Turner’s mother on A.B. Frazier Road where Turner was an unwanted guest. Upon arrival the officer spoke with Turner and a computer check revealed that he was under a temporary order of protection to keep away from the residence. He entered the home loudly calling out the victim’s name causing that person to escape through a window in fear.

Tennessee’s 2019-20 hunting and fishing licenses are now expired, as of Saturday, Feb. 29. The new 2020-21 licenses went on sale Feb. 18 and are valid through February 2021.

Licenses are available online anytime at www.GoOutdoorsTennessee.com, on the TWRA “On the Go App,” or at one of more than 700 license agents across the state. You can now select to auto-renew your license and never worry about having a license expire again.

Customers can also purchase the new design of the collector’s card for any annual license. This waterproof, durable card features paintings by Tennessee artist Abraham Hunter. Customers may choose between two new designs, a brook trout or a pair of gobblers.

Hunters and anglers have been funding Tennessee’s and the nation’s wildlife conservation for more than 100 years through license purchases. All hunting and fishing license fees go to support wildlife conservation in Tennessee. What’s more, a license purchase returns taxes paid on firearms, archery equipment, fishing gear and boat fuel to Tennessee at a rate of up to $40 per year so a license purchase is a great investment. This successful funding system is the Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration program which is the largest driver of wildlife conservation nationwide.
