On 4/26/2017 officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested Amanda Shepherd, 34 years old, 507 Kaywood Ave, Mount Carmel, on charges of failure to yield, driving on a suspended license, possession of drug paraphernalia, and identity theft.
On 4/26/2017, at approximately 12:30 PM, an officer performed a traffic stop on Ms. Shepherd’s vehicle after she pulled in front of a vehicle on E. Springbrook Dr., and nearly caused a collision. When the officer made contact with Ms. Shepherd and requested her driver’s license, she provided a relative’s identification in an attempt to hide her identity. Officers determined her true identity after a search of her vehicle was conducted and her actual identification card was located. During the search of the vehicle, officers also found drug paraphernalia.
Ms. Shepherd was placed under arrest and transported to the Washington County Detention Center where she was held on an $11,000 bond. Her arraignment is scheduled for 4/27/17, 1:30 PM, in Washington County General Sessions Court.
