JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF) – When April Carmley mistook a Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputy for her brother, it triggered events that eventually led to her arrest.

Deputy James McCall said he was sitting in his patrol car in the gravel parking lot next to the sheriff’s office when a woman allegedly attempted to get in the car. The woman, later identified as 25-year- old April Michelle Carmley of nearby Water Street, told McCall she thought he was her brother is why she was trying to open the car door.

McCall said Carmley appeared unsteady on her feet and swaying. Her actions prompted the deputy to ask her if she’d consumed any legal or illegal drugs. According to the report from the sheriff’s office, Carmley told McCall that she’d recently smoked some meth. Carmley gave the deputy permission to search her purse where he found a glass pipe with residue on it.

Carmley was arrested and charged with PI (public intoxication) and possession of drug paraphernalia. This was Carmley’s fourth time being arrested based on jail records from the Campbell County Jail. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 06/02/2021-6AM)
