• On Jan. 8, Lewisburg Police responded to an indecent exposure complaint at Kroger. The officer met several women who described a man parked in his vehicle exposing himself within sight of two different women. One of the women wrote down the license plate number, which was registered to one Jarrett Flesher. The subject entered the store where one woman reported that he had followed her and her daughter very closely. An 11 year old boy reported to his mother that the man had “showed him his stuff.” Surveillance video from the store showed Flesher following another woman down the bread aisle “with his hand moving up and down over his genital area.”

The morning of Jan. 10, a Marshall County Sheriff’s deputy located Flesher and brought him to jail where he was served with two warrants for indecent exposure. According to the police report, Flesher asked the officer that “I don’t understand why there are two warrants because it just happened once in the parking lot.”

Flesher was held on $4,000 bond.

• Marshall County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Jerry Reynolds on Jan. 10 after an incident in the parking lot at Rock Creek Market.

Witnesses who had called 911 reported that they had seen him punch a woman in the face.

When deputies arrived, the woman, his girlfriend, confirmed that he had struck her, saying that Reynolds did it every time he had been drinking.

After asking Reynolds to put down his beer, deputies took his into custody, discovering another beer in his pants leg while patting him down.

He was charged with simple domestic assault and violation of bond conditions, his bond stating that he was not allowed to possess or consume alcohol, according to the report.

Shelbyville Police have also noted a rash of fake bills there recently as well.

• On two separate occasions, Dec. 24 and Jan. 9, Lewisburg Police responded to Maple Grove Apartments on reports of a possible domestic disturbance. The first visit they encountered Elizabeth Daniels, described in the report as “highly intoxicated and yelling at everyone in the apartment.”

Daniels’ boyfriend reported that Daniels had made threats against him and had kicked him.

The second event, Daniels was again described as intoxicated and at first told the officers to tell her boyfriend to be nice. She later reportedly said that she had earlier thought that he was cheating on her and that when he had come home she had ripped his clothes off of him and had again kicked him.

Daniels was charged in each instance with domestic assault and held on $1,000 bond.

• LPD arrested Rodney Bamberg on the afternoon of Jan. 7 for domestic assault. When officers arrived on the scene, two men were fighting on the front porch.

• LPD stopped William Osborne on Dec. 28 for speeding on Old Belfast Road. Noticing a smell of alcohol and an open beer bottle on the floor of the car, officers asked Osborne if he had been drinking to which he admitted 3 to 4 beers. He did not perform road side sobriety tests satisfactorily and was charged with DUI, the third occasion for Osborne to face this charge. He was held on $1,500 bond.

• On Jan. 5, a Lewisburg officer noticed headlights in Rock Creek Park, driving on what turned out to be the walking trail. Stopping the vehicle before it drove into a ditch, the officer reported that she told the driver he would need to reverse in order to get back to the road, whereupon the driver backed into a park bench. The driver exited the vehicle and blamed the officer for the damage to the vehicle. Asked if he had been drinking or had taken any medication, the driver, Tommy Burns, said that he had taken the sleep aid, Ambien, and was just running to the store. Burns then reportedly pointed to another vehicle driving in the area, which was, instead, a stand of trees and not another vehicle. Performing poorly on sobriety tests, Burns was arrested and while being led to the police car, took off his shoes. After putting his shoes back on at the officer’s direction, he asked if his handcuffs could be moved in front of his body instead of behind his back. Told that was against department policy, Burns reportedly told the officer that the policy was stupid and that he would contact Ronald Dunn, the city manager, in the morning. The Lewisburg City Manager is Randall Dunn.

Burns refused the blood draw and was charged with DUI and violation of the implied consent law. He was held on $1,000 bond.
