An 18-year-old man is facing an aggravated assault charge after allegedly threatening another man with a gun during a domestic incident.

Brayden Kelley Ferrell of Short Mountain Highway, Smithville is under a $2,500 bond. Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on July 3 a deputy was summoned to Tabernacle Road to meet with an individual concerning an assault which had occurred at a location on Short Mountain Highway. Upon arrival the officer spoke with a man and a woman (alleged victims) who reported they had gone to a residence on Short Mountain Highway looking for their daughter. When they pulled into the driveway, the couple said their daughter’s ex-boyfriend, Ferrell came outside the residence. After the couple got out of their vehicle to talk with him, Ferrell’s father also came outside, and an altercation ensued between him and the male victim. Brayden then allegedly pulled a gun and put it to the male victim’s head causing him to fear serious bodily injury.

52-year-old Vickie Lenae Alvis of Luttrell Avenue, Smithville is charged with resisting arrest. Her bond is $4,000 and she will be in court July 13.

Sheriff Ray said that on June 25 a deputy went to a residence on High Street in Alexandria to serve a warrant on Alvis. When Alvis spotted the officer, she ran through the home and locked herself in a bathroom even though the deputy warned her to stop. As the deputy tried to enter the bathroom, Alvis crawled out the bathroom window. She was later placed under arrest.

18-year-old Pablo Cruz Hernandez of McMinnville is charged with criminal impersonation and underage driving while impaired. His bond totals $4,000 and he will be in court July 20. Sheriff Ray said that on July 3 a deputy was patrolling Bethel Road when he spotted a Beige Ford Freestyle vehicle leave its lane of travel. The officer pulled over the automobile and spoke with the driver, Hernandez who had a strong odor of alcohol on him. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was unsteady on his feet. Several open containers of alcohol were in the vehicle. Hernandez submitted to field sobriety tasks but performed poorly. He admitted to having consumed four beers earlier that night. When speaking with the officer, Hernandez said his date of birth was November 21, 2002. He was taken into custody for DUI and transported to the sheriff’s department for booking. Upon arrival, Hernandez told the officers that his birth date was November 21, 2000 but later admitted to having lied to make the deputies think he was of age. His real date of birth is November 9, 2004.

54-year-old Burnette “Bernie” Jones of Andrew Street, Smithville is charged with public intoxication. He is under a $2,500 bond and his court date is July 20. Sheriff Ray said that on July 4 a deputy was on patrol when he spotted Jones asleep on the ground in the middle of the Taco Bell parking lot. After stopping to awake him, the officer reported that Jones became irate and seemed to be talking out of his head. Jones then began pacing around the parking lot and seemed to be under the influence of narcotics. For the safety of himself and the public, Jones was placed under arrest for public intoxication.

43-year-old Rocky Amon Scarlett of Cookeville is charged with domestic assault. He is under a $2,500 bond and will be in court on July 13. Sheriff Ray said that on May 30 a deputy was summoned to a location on Poplar Street, Smithville due to a domestic assault complaint. Upon arrival, the officer spoke with a woman who said her boyfriend, Scarlett, hit her in the head which left red marks on the left side of her head and forehead. She also had a scratch on the right side of her chin and on her left hand. Scarlett had left the scene before officers arrived. He was arrested later.

46-year-old Terry Lee Wildes of Scott Acres Road, Smithville, was arrested on July 9 for being a fugitive from justice. Sheriff Ray said that on this day a deputy spotted a vehicle on Allen Ferry Road failing to maintain its lane of travel. After stopping the automobile, the deputy spoke with a passenger, Wildes, and after a background check through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) officers learned Wildes had a warrant against him out of Louisa County, Virginia. Authorities there reported they would seek extradition of Wildes for a third offense of a felony assault on a family member and two counts of fleeing from a law enforcement officer.
