Meth Bust On I-24
A traffic stop Wednesday lead to a meth bust and two people arrested.
A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper made a traffic stop on I-24 in Marion County after he saw a car with illegal window tinting and following too closely to traffic and noticed the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
While interviewing the driver and the passenger, the trooper was alerted to possible indicators suggesting criminal activity. The driver gave the trooper permission to search the vehicle where 2.5 pounds of Meth/Ice were discovered. The drugs were in the dashboard on the driver’s side.
Both suspects were taken to the Marion County jail where they asked for counsel and refused to answer questions.
The trooper reports the driver, 31, and passenger, 50, were travelling from Miami, FL to Louisville, KY. Names of the suspects are being withheld due to an ongoing investigation.

Big Plays Send Westwood Football to Defeat on Thursday
Two long touchdown runs in the second half spelled doom for the Westwood Rockets on Thursday night as they fell by a score of 24 to 0 to Fayetteville in middle school football action. After forcing a Westwood punt on the first possession of the game, Fayetteville drove 89 yards in 11 plays to take an early 8 to 0 lead after a 28 yard TD run by QB Trey Allen and a 2 point conversion from Jaden Hadley. After that drive, the Rocket defense held the Tigers to minus 6 yards the rest of the first half. Dylan Koon had a huge 12 yard sack to stifle one drive for Westwood, but the Rockets could not maintain a drive.
The host Tigers took the second half kickoff and scored on the 1st play from scrimmage as Isaac Pace galloped 55 yards for a score and Allen added an insurance TD on the first play of the 4th quarter to seal the victory. Westwood substituted liberally in the 4th quarter as they finished the second half with 16 yards on 16 plays.
