A female prisoner at the DeKalb County Jail was recently caught with letters laced with Suboxone.

33-year-old Cassandra Renee Reed of Foster Road, McMinnville, is charged with bringing contraband into a penal institution. She is under a $20,000 bond and will make a court appearance February 2.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that between January 12 and 19, Reed received two letters at the jail which appeared to have been soaked in a substance, believed to be the schedule III drug Suboxone, before being dried and written on. Phone calls were recorded regarding the letters, between Reed and a man discussing the need for her to obtain the letters before her being transferred to another facility. A detective from the Sheriff’s Department spoke with Reed, who admitted that the letters laced with Suboxone were sent to her by the man with whom she had spoken on the phone. Her plans were to chew on the letters to get the drug into her system. The letters were sent to the TBI Crime Lab for testing.

A deputy working a wreck last week learned that the truck involved in the crash and the bike and trailer it was hauling had all been stolen. The driver of the vehicle has been charged in the case.

22-year-old Elijsha Blayne Roberson of Monterey is facing three counts of theft of property over $2,500 and criminal impersonation. He is under a $31,000 bond and will be in court on February 9.

Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on January 19, a deputy was summoned to Nashville Highway due to a one vehicle crash. Upon arrival the officer spotted the wrecked vehicle, a 2006 white Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with a black COTC utility trailer and a gray 2015 Yamaha FZ7. The deputy requested a background check on the VIN number through central dispatch and discovered from NCIC that the truck had been reported stolen in White County. The Yamaha bike and trailer were stolen in Lafayette. The truck was valued at $2,500, the bike $ 8,000, and the trailer $1,000. When confronted by the officer, Roberson admitted to having been in possession of the stolen truck, trailer, and bike at the time of the crash but said his name was Andrew Mullins. He later gave his real name after a further investigation.
