• At 2:58 a.m. on Feb. 6, a New Vienna female called in to dispatch and reported she was traveling on State Route 28 East in Midland, Jefferson Township, when “she struck the wires from a downed telephone pole.” Upon arrival, deputies observed a telephone pole that was broken in half with tracks in the mud leading to a crashed Chevy Silverado truck. The truck was in the field, near the railroad tracks, and displayed heavy front-end damage. The plates returned to a 1995 Ford F-150. Due to the live wire lines down, deputies requested the road be closed. The female caller was allowed to leave the area. A 53-year-old Clarksville male approached a deputy explaining he was driving the truck when he crashed due to “being run off the road by a big, new truck.” The report indicates the male stumbled and fell down, had pinpoint pupils and had an odor of marijuana on him. Deputies located a bag of “green leafy substance” and an open red pack of cigarettes in a toolbox in the bed of the truck. The pack contained a marijuana-smelling burnt substance and rolling papers. The toolbox contained a black magnet box that had a crystal substance and five pills in a plastic container. The male indicated he smoked marijuana earlier and stated the other substance came from another male subject. He also confirmed he was not wearing his glasses or contacts while driving. After performing tests, the male was cited for an O.V.I.
