LPD makes recent theft, drug arrests
LPD photos Livingston Police Department responded to a call from the 4-way Market, located on the bypass, of a reported theft of $38 dollars of gas, but soon found more than they were looking for. Shortly after LPD received the call, Livingston Patrol Officer Sean Allred located the suspected vehicle on School Mountain Road and stopped it. The stop resulted in a charge against Thomas Cook, 23, of Hilham, for the Theft of Property under $500. A passenger in the vehicle, Michael S. Holmes, 23, of Livingston, was also taken into custody. He is alleged to have been in possession of a quantity of Schedule II and Schedule IV narcotics. Livingston Police Detective Sergeant Bill Randolph arrested Holmes for 3 counts of Possession of Schedule Narcotics, along with Theft of Property under $500. Both men were lodged in Overton County Jail awaiting bond. The Livingston Police Department Drug Unit is continuing to make investigations into the sale and delivery of illegal drugs in the community, with several hundred dollars in cash, over a half-ounce of marijuania, and 151 narcotic pills recently seized in drug investigations. The drugs and cash were confiscated after officers watched a group of people attempt a drug sale in a restaurant parking lot recently. Six people were questioned, and the case is to be presented to Overton County Grand Jury for possible indictments. Livingston Police Chief Roger Phillips credits his officers with thoroughly investigating the possession and sale of narcotics and prosecuting those who choose to violate the law.
