On 4/20/2017, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Crystal Wells (1 Trivet Concourse #7), 32 years old, and charged her with False Reporting. At approximately 9:30 a.m. officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant on a person who frequently resides at Ms. Wells residence. Ms. Wells spoke with officers regarding the suspect’s whereabouts, and she consistently stated that he was not inside her residence. After further questioning, and multiple times being told by Ms. Wells that the person was not there, officers observed the suspect inside, towards the rear of the residence. Ms. Wells then shut the door in the officer’s face and refused to open the door back up. After a couple of minutes the suspect came out of the house and gave himself up. Police took the wanted suspect into custody, and placed Ms. Wells under arrest as well. Ms. Wells was transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where she is being held in lieu of a $5,000 bond. Arraignment is set for 10:30 a.m. on 4/21/2017, in Washington County General Sessions Court.
