Early Tuesday morning, Billie Jo Funk, age 44 of Morris Lane Tullahoma was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped for a traffic violation on East Grundy Street by Tullahoma Patrolman Tommy Elliott. Elliott reports that the driver and the front seat passenger fled on foot. Apparently Funk did not flee and the two suspects had not been captured at our news deadline.
Upon searching the vehicle the arrest warrant says that Tullahoma officers allegedly found several Xanax pills, 26 grams of Ice, and 20 grams of Marijuana. Funk also allegedly had several glass pipes plus police found in the car a 9mm fully loaded handgun.
Funk was charged with 3 counts of Manufacturing/delivering/selling/possession of a controlled substance, drug paraphernalia uses and activities and illegal possession of a weapon.
Her bond was set at $82,500 and she is set to appear in court Nov. 10, 2016.
