Forged Check Leads Deputies To Meth Find A minor offense led to a major offense when a man allegedly attempted to pass a forged check at a Livingston department store. According to reports, Danyne S. Breast entered Overton Department Store on Thursday, May 17 and allegedly attempted to pass a forged check to Deputy Greg Etheredge, who helps operate the store. Etheredge asked Breast about the check and he allegedly admitted the check was not his. Dep. Etheredge then advised Breast to come with him. Breast reportedly pushed Dep. Etheredge back and fled on foot. With the help of Brad McCormick, Breast was apprehended a few blocks away. Dep. Etheredge then transported him to Overton County Jail. When he was put into the jail, Breast allegedly attempted to conceal Xanax pills. During an interview conducted at the jail by Dep. Etheredge, Dep. Heather Howell, and Chief Deputy Craig Story, Breast allegedly gave false information about a white Ford Thunderbird, with Warren County plates, he had been driving, which was parked on the Livingston square in front of Overton Department Store. Deputies went to check out the car and allegedly saw what they believed to be a meth pipe in the floorboard. Dep. Johnny Arney and K-9 Rudy were called to the scene. K-9 Rudy reportedly indicated the vehicle had drugs inside. Inside the car and in its trunk, deputies allegedly found items necessary for a meth lab. Finished methamphetamine and a large bag of marijuana seeds, along with scales, baggies, pipes, and a dropper, were also allegedly found in the car. Breast is incarcerated in Overton County Jail under a $95,000 bond.
