City police make 6 cases on I-85

•Tylen Nation Blackmon, 21, 944 Tyrell Road, Austell, misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was also pulled over for following too closely. The officer discovered a plastic bag of marijuana in Blackmon’s pants pocket during a pat-down for weapons, the report said. When the officer asked what the bag contained, the report said Blackmon pulled it out of his pocket and handed it to the officer. He told the officer that when he saw the officer’s car he got nervous and did not pay attention to his driving.
•Zedrick Mathis Geter Jr., 24, 542 Daniel Street, Royston, possession of marijuana and driving with defective equipment. The report said the officer pulled Geter over for having a shattered windshield and immediately noted the smell of burned marijuana. When the officer asked permission to search the vehicle, Geter asked him why and the officer pointed out the smell. Geter allegedly told the officer that he (Geter) had smoked marijuana the night before while wearing the same clothing. Still, he let the officer search, which allegedly turned up one marijuana cigarette, a small quantity of marijuana in a bag and another bag that contained smaller bags of marijuana. The officer also noted seeing bits of marijuana throughout the vehicle. Geter told the officer he did not realize it was illegal to drive with a shattered windshield.
•David Michael Lollis, 24, 683 Virginia Lane, Hull, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and violation of the open container law. He was in a vehicle pulled over for a traffic offense and the officer discovered the marijuana when a bag fell out of Lollis’ pocket as Lollis withdrew his wallet. The officer also charged the driver, Kimberly Michelle Lollis, 26, of the same address, with a seat belt violation and giving false information to police after she allegedly gave the officer a false name. She also had an outstanding warrant for possession of marijuana from South Carolina, but that jurisdiction did not want to extradite her, the report indicted.

Other Charges

The Commerce Police Department also charged the following people during the past week:

•Candice Noel Hardesty, 23, 132 Buckeye Point, Banks, battery and disorderly conduct. The charges stemmed from an Aug. 17 incident in which she allegedly attacked a 25-year-old white female in a Tara Place Apartment after being warned by the tenant of the apartment to not come over.

•Christopher W. White, 42, 210 Orchard Street, Commerce, disorderly conduct following a dispute at a Walnut Street residence where he said he’d gone to get his car back from his girlfriend because she was seeing another man. The girlfriend and the other man said White arrived cursing and yelling. The officer noted the smell of alcohol about White, the report said, and asked him how he got to the scene. White claimed he walked, but the officer pointed out that White’s truck was in the yard, its engine was still hot and the keys were in White’s pocket. White blew a .168 on a portable alcosensor, according to the officer.

•Gregory Cullen Watts, 27, 5718 Mount Olive Road, Commerce, driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and failure to dim headlights. The failure to dim the lights attracted the officer’s attention, and the smell of alcohol about Watts led to the DUI investigation. According to the report, Watts denied drinking, but he failed all parts of a field sobriety test and blew a .189 on the alcosensor.

•Derek Allen Nicely, 38, 141 Roxie Hill Drive, Cornelia, driving with a suspended license, a seat belt violation and improper transfer of a tag. The report indicated that when asked for his license, Nicely told the officer it had been suspended for child support obligations. The report indicated that it had also been suspended three other times since 1996.

•Richard Albert Reid, 41, 769 Central Drive Northwest, Concord, NC, driving without a license. The charge was the result of a traffic stop on I-85.

•Fnu Isnawati, 53, 3000 Hwy. 5, Apt. 611, Douglasville, driving without a license. She was traveling south on I-85 when an officer pulled her over for driving 49 miles per hour.

•Shelton Adam Sellers, 22, 504 East 9th Street, Vinton, Iowa, giving false information and a failure to appear warrant out of White County. He was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over on I-85 for a tag light violation who, the officer said, appeared to be overly nervous. When asked for his identification, Sellers said he had none and gave another name, but when the officer got permission to search the vehicle, he found Sellers’ wallet — containing his ID — under the front seat.
