PREPARED BY: | MPO M Carter 676 | APPROVED BY: | Lt. M. Perry | ||
On 03/16/16 at 4:48 pm, Richard Workman, 305 Delaware St, Johnson City, TN, 30 years old, was arrested for Tampering with Evidence, Resisting Stop/Arrest, and Simple Possession/Casual Exchange. The arrest stems from an incident at 6670 Bristol Hwy, in which Officers were investigating allegations of a drunk driver. As Officers arrived and performed a pat down of Workman, a lump was discovered in his waistband, believed to be illegal narcotics. Workman quickly grabbed the contraband, placed it into his mouth, and destroyed the evidence by swallowing it. After a brief struggle, Officers were able to safely take Workman into custody. Further search of Workman’s person also revealed that he was in possession of approximately 0.6 grams of powder cocaine. A warrant was obtained for Workman on the listed charges, and he is now being held at the Sullivan County Detention Center in lieu of a $10,000 bond pending a hearing in Sessions Court.
