Smithville Police Make Two Recent Arrests

Smithville Police have made two arrests in recent days.
36 year old Freddy Sylvester Stringer of 208 Church Street, Liberty was arrested Monday, October 19th for driving on a revoked license. According to the report, Officer Randy King stopped Stringer for unnecessary noise. Stringer initially accelerated from the light at South Mountain Street and Highway 70 East at a rapid rate causing his tires to squeal. After being pulled over, Stringer told Officer King that his license was revoked for DUI. His registration was wrong. It actually belonged on another vehicle. Stringer also did not have proof of insurance. He was cited for violation of registration and financial responsibility. His vehicle was seized after a computer check revealed his license was revoked for an earlier DUI. Stringer’s bond was set at $7,000 and he is to appear in General Sessions Court November 19th.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, October 22nd, Officer Randy King was in General Session Court when he saw 33 year old Andrea Kelly Jones of 12055 Sparta Pike, Watertown sitting in the front row of the courtroom. She appeared to be intoxicated and about to pass out. On several occasions she would close her eyes and rock forward and then catch herself.

Officer King and other officers in the courtroom witnessed her actions. Bond for Jones was set at $1,000 and she is to appear in General Sessions Court November 19th.
