RIDGEWOOD, TN (WLAF) – A silver Nissan Pathfinder without a tag light caught the eye of Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputy Timothy Powers.  Based on Powers’ report, at 10:30 pm, Friday, Sept. 4,  he stopped the SUV on Highway 116 in the Ridgewood community. Behind the wheel was a man identified as Joshua David Dodson.

Powers ran a routine check on Dodson’s drivers license and found he had a suspended drivers license.  Dodson also had active warrants from Anderson County.  When Dodson was being arrested, he was asked if he had anything in his pockets and he said “he did not,” according to a report from the sheriff’s office.  A search of his pockets revealed a small plastic container containing several items including a straw, a piece of an aluminum can with burnt residue on it believed to be used for drug use.  Half of a pill believe to be hydrocodone, three unknown pills and a small plastic bag with a crystal-like substance thought to be Meth were also allegedly discovered.

Dodson, 29, 171 Sundown Lane, Caryville is charged with driving while suspended, possession of schedule II-controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and violation light law.  (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 09/14/2020-6AM)
