A driver who failed to
“move over” while passing

taken into custody on Friday
and arrested on a second

As the old year rolls to
an end and the new year
looms on Tuesday, the
BUZZ decided to take a
backward glance at 2012,
one of the warmest years
on record and one that did
not come to a stop with
the end of the Mayan calendar.
What were the top
events, we asked. What
stories captivated us?
Who made the headlines?
Here, then, is our
overview of the past 52
weeks as featured in the
pages of the Monroe
County BUZZ.
January 2012 eased in
without much of a fanfare,
though the census redistricting
of the country, the
state, and especially the

The town of Tellico
Plains held its first meeting
in January without
longtime board member
Harkey Yates, whose untimely
death in 2011 left a
vacancy not only on the
board but in the hearts of
everyone in the town.
Trevlyn Lenoir received
a 25-year prison sentence
in the 2010 child neglect
and abuse case of “Baby J.”
Charles Edgar Ledford of
Sweetwater was charged
with numerous counts involving
sex acts with
young children; twelve
men were indicted in a jail
riot that occurred in late
2011; and the Monroe
County Commission approved
felony status for
anyone caught with synthetic
drugs.

on EMA Director Brian
Turpin as a lieutenant in
the division; and former
detective Travis Jones
(who created Turpin’s
post) took a road captain’s
bar and returned to patrol
duties.
As the month wound
down, school board member
Sonya Lynn won her
case against the Board of
Education and Schools
Director Mike Lowry for
the system’s failure to permit
the board to perform
its duties. The case, along
with a similar lawsuit that
former teacher Penny
Parker won in late 2011,
would be overturned by
December 31, 2012
Chancellor Jerry Bryant
who initially awarded the
two women a chancery
court victory.
February arrived with
the arrest of Chuck Hunt,
a captain with the previous
sheriff’s administration,
and a second man,
Norman Nichols, who
were charged with vote
buying in last year’s Tellico
Plains mayoral election.
The Madisonville Police
Department promoted
Patrol Officer Daniel
Dockery to captain detective,
John Mullinax became
Tellico Plains High
School’s football coach,
and the Rural Vale Lady
Panthers brought home a
state championship in basketball.

The month also
recorded a fire that destroyed
Beck’s Florist in
Madisonville, a passing of
a longtime business that
most of the county’s residents
had at one time or
another done business
with. A second passing
was that of longtime
sports writer John Taylor,
whose noted vocation as a
mail deliveryman was as
lengthy as his local high
school sports coverage.
February ended fairly
quietly, but the month of
March came in like a lion,
unleashing a vicious and
devastating tornado that
ripped through Tellico
Plains, tearing a path of
destruction and destroy-
442-3200
ing numerous homes and
businesses in and around
the mountain town.
In nearby Citico, where
the twister played out,
homicide investigators
found a few days later the
body of Luther “Lukey”
Vineyard of Smokey
Branch Road and after a
four-day examination of
the evidence in Vineyard’s
home, charged four
Madisonville and Vonore
persons with first degree
murder: Jessica Renee
Payne, 20, Lorenz James
Freeman Jr., 24, Coty
Shane Smith, 26, and
Joshua Lee Steele, 24.
And then, in the middle
of the month, a runaway
tractor-trailer with a
driver asleep at the wheel
slammed into Tennessee
Highway Patrol Sergeant
Lowell Russell’s parked
cruiser on Interstate 40 in
Knoxville, critically injuring
the well-known seasoned
law enforcement
officer. Russell underwent
a lengthy recovery in and
out of the hospital that
still continues to this day.
He was honored in the
state’s general assembly
and received numerous
visits and accolades by
state and national officials,
including Governor Bill
Haslam.
Tellico Plains resident
Mary Shaw passed away
from injuries in March and
only days later were Kimberly
Sue Ricker and
Wayne Clarence Jones
charged with inflicting the
injuries to Shaw and ar-

murder counts. The two

fires consumed 1,400
bales of switchgrass in Tellico
Plains in mid-month.

with arson in the late night
antics.

Democratic and Republican
leaders in the
Senate vowed Friday night
to work through the
weekend to create a new
bill that would avert the
so-called “fiscal cliff”
looming on Monday. President
Obama said he
doubted the Senate heads’
final push would produce
a deal, but added the Senate
should allow “an up or
down vote” on a scaledback
proposal he has personally
pushed.
At the same time, Tennessee
Senator Bob
Corker said “the American
people should be disgusted”
the nation’s leaders
have not solved the
NATIONwIDE
solution to the possibility
of a new economic crisis at
year’s end. Howard Kurtz
of the Daily Beast called
Washington “the country’s
biggest day-care center,”
and famous sex therapist
Dr. Ruth Westheimer
noted on Twitter that
members of Congress
“who can’t compromise
probably aren’t good
lovers.”
A second, smaller but
still powerful winter storm
rolled into the Northeast
on Friday and Saturday,
dumping up to six inches
of snow from Philadelphia
to New York City to Hartford,
Connecticut. However,
the system lacked the
punch of the week’s earlier
storm that brought tornadoes,
high winds, icy
roads, power outages, and
record snowfall and led to
17 deaths and thousands of
grounded flights.
“America’s Toughest
Sheriff,” Arizona’s Joe
Arpaio, said on Thursday
he was planning to dispatch
armed volunteer patrols
to the schools in
Maricopa County within
the coming week, a response
to the state’s attorney
general’s suggestions
that at least one teacher in
each school be weapontrained
and armed. Arpaio
said the volunteers would
provide their own equipment,
would not receive a
taxpayer-based salary, had
the experience to handle
the job, and would patrol
the perimeters of schools,
not inside them.
Gallup released its latest
poll on Friday, reporting
that a majority of
Americans have a “favorable”
view of the National
Rifle Association. Fiftyfour
percent nodded positively
to the NRA, with 83
percent of Republicans favoring
less gun control,
with 36 percent of Democrats
supporting the
organization.
The American Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals agreed on
Friday to pay Ringling
Brothers and Barnum and
Bailey Circus $9.3 million
to settle a lawsuit that accused
the Virginia-based
company of mistreating
Asian elephants that perform
in its shows. A 2000
suit filed against the pro-
ducer of the circus citing
the Endangered Species
Acts was dismissed.
And the American
Academy of Ophthalmology
on Saturday urged
New Year’s Eve revelers to
take that bottle of champagne
and “uncork it with
care.” The exploding
corks, aimed wrong, could
cause major eye injuries
and even blindness, said a
spokesman, for the bottles
hold more pressure than a
car tire, as much as 90
pounds per square inch,
which propels corks at 50
miles per hour.

time to thank all the people
that participated in the
Toys for Tots program.
Without your generous
donations, hard work, and
time invested to help, this
event would not have been
possible.
A special thanks goes
out to Tom and Renae
Dockery of Tellico Tire,
Chief Gregg Breeden and
Gudger Bill Bivins with
the Madisonville Police
Department, and the volunteers
from Mt. Calvary
Baptist Church.
This year’s event was a
huge success and we hope
to build on it for the years
to come.
Again, we would like to
say thank you to everyone.”

$100 chainsaw, a $20
walkie-talkie, a $15 flashlight
charger, a $150 drill
set, $6 in cash, and $10 in
loose change.
Sheriff’s Deputy Brady
Bowers said he responded
to a Vinegar Ridge Road
home on December 17 to
address a reported breakin
near Highway 411 that
resulted in the disappearance
of a $856 flat-screen
television, a $50 television,
a $300 X-Box, and a $35
DVD player.
Johnson was back on
December 18, saying he investigated
an outbuilding
burglary on Highway 11,
where items worth $350
were stolen, including a
tiller, a bucket of tools, a
tool bag with tools in it,
garden tools, and a crosscut
saw.
Later, Johnson said he
investigated a neighbor’s
shed in a possible related
break-in, where $100 in

Sheriff’s Captain John
Acuff said he went to
Smoky Branch Road on
December 18, looking into
a reported theft of a patriotic
banner worth $150.
Sheriff’s Sergeant Ray
Haynes said he was dispatched
on the same day
to County Farm Road
where a property owner
reported the theft of jewelry,
including rings,
bracelets, and necklaces,
and earrings, all of un-
known value.
Sweetwater Police Patrol
Officer Michael Pippin
said he responded to
Eastwood Drive to investigate
a report concerning
two stolen firearms, a
$1,000 H&R .410 shotgun
and a $1,000 level-action
16-gauge shotgun, plus a
missing Isuzu vehicle.
Steele was back on December
19, filing a report
that he said detailed copper
wiring worth $3,000
taken from a home on
December 31, 2012
Sweetwater-Vonore Road.
Russell, too, was back,

scope and two jackets.
Fischer sad on December
20 he investigated a reported

Police Chase Down Fleeing Driver
Three Charges Plus Hitting a Patrol Car
A Madisonville driver
went to jail early Friday
after leading police officers
and a sheriff’s deputy
on a chase around town.
Charged by Madisonville
Police Patrol Officer
Cody Yates with felony
fleeing, aggravated assault,
reckless endangerment,
and driving without insurance
was Philip Lawrence
Goca, 20, of Greenwood
Circle.
Yates said he spotted
Goca’s Ford Probe around
1:30 a.m. as it passed the
Madisonville First Baptist
Church on Walnut Street
traveling at a high rate of
speed. It crossed College
Street, shut down its
lights, and headed for
Warren Street, with Yates
giving chase.
The car turned onto
Highway 68 and immediately
turned onto Community
Lane. Yates said
he lost the car on Loop
Road but found it and
pursued it back onto
Community Drive and on
to Highway 68.
Other officers entered
the chase, Yates said, and
at one point Goca locked
his brakes in an attempt to
wreck his chasers. He
then struck a Monroe
County Sheriff’s cruiser
driven by Deputy Brady
Bowers, sending the Ford
and the cruiser unit into a
ditch.
Both Goca and Bowers
were not injured, Yates
said, but the vehicle was
damaged.

Mill Road, Tellico Plains.
According to detectives,
Bennett took a vehicle
from a man on

Right Brother Accepts Sentence
Pleads to Charges Initially Heaped on wrong Brother
Martin
A man who told police
officers he was not who he
was but identified himself
as his brother and escaped
an initial visit to court a
few weeks ago showed up
on Thursday and pleaded
to six counts, including
criminal impersonation
and driving under the influence
(DUI)
In Monroe County
General Sessions Court,
Judge Reed Dixon sentenced
Michael Todd
Martin to six months probation
for the impersonation
plea and to 11
months, 29 days for pleading
to DUI. Martin also
accepted the usual DUI
penalty for a first offense
and will spent 48 hours behind
bars and pay a $365
fine.
An impeding traffic violation
was dismissed, and
for driving without insurance,
Dixon ordered Martin
to pay a $10 fine. For
driving on, and pleading
to, third offense driving on
suspended license, Martin
took another 11/29 suspended
sentence and a
fine of $115.
Madisonville Police Patrol
Sergeant Adam Russell
charged Martin with
the offenses on December
1, when he stopped Martin
for driving too slowly in
the hammer lane of Highway
411 and found him intoxicated.
However,
Martin gave Russell his
brother’s name and
skipped out on the pending
court date.
The brother brought
the name change before
the court and Martin was
duly charged under his
correct name on December
14.
The brother, by the
way, has no police record.

possession of unlawful
drug paraphernalia was
James Eric Hamm, 36, of
Hiwassee Road, Madisonville.
Miller said he watched
Hamm’s GMC run
through a stop sign at
Depot Street and Highway
411 around 12:15 a.m.
He stopped the SUV and
found Hamm behind the
wheel and learned through
E-911 dispatchers that
Hamm’s driver’s license
was suspended.
Ham said he had nothing
illegal in the vehicle
and provided Miller with
consent to search it.
Miller found a small baggie
beside the drivers seat
and in the bag was a white
powder.
Miller said Hamm then
told him he had a meth lab
in the back of the GMC.
Finding it, Miller located
chemical mixes used to
make methamphetamine,
including a gas bottle, coffee
filters, lithium batteries,
drain cleaner, cold
packs, lighter fluid, and
muriatic acid.
Also with the chemicals
were empty baggies, a syringe,
a spoon, a glass dipper,
and scales.

the car and pulled it over,
he said, immediately detecting

Williams said he found
Packett’s driver’s license
revoked for a previous
DUI. Packett’s speech
was slurred, he was unsteady,
and his eyes were
bloodshot.
Packett performed sobriety
testing poorly,
Williams said.
Packett’s earlier DUI

In Syria, Saturday was

since the country’s unrest

least 392 persons as killed,
including 201 persons who
were executed by government
troops in Deir Balbah,
outside the city of
Homs. Russian officials
met with personnel from
the United Nations and
the Arab League, urging
both sides to meet for negotiations.
Meanwhile, Russia’s
foreign minister on Saturday
said Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad had no intention
of stepping down
and it would be an impossibility
of convincing him
otherwise. Lakhdar
Brahimi said the opposition
forces in the country
risked sacrificing more
lives if they continued to
insist on Assad leaving office
as a precondition for
holding talks.
Mexican authorities announced
on Saturday the
discovery of a sophisticated

be designed for transporting
illegal drugs.

British scientists on
Saturday called off a hunt

into the evolution of life

And as the month
ended, a Tellico Plains
woman died from a gunshot
wound at a home on
Towee Falls Road; she was
identified as Rebecca
Stratton, and later, in December,
the female who
allegedly shot her, identified
as Robyn Renea
Jones, 49, would be
charged with her murder.
During December, a
jury found Walter Francis
Fitzpatrick guilty of removing
grand jury papers
from the courthouse and
Judge Walter Kurtz sentenced
Fitzpatrick to 11
months, 29 days probation
after 20 days in jail and
240 hours of community
service.
Food City broke
ground on its new supermarket

And despite all of the
events and activities of
2012, one tragedy would
most likely stand out
above the others of the
year, and that was the
Ohio traffic deaths of
Madisonville parents
Sheila and Steven
Barhorst, who were killed
by a drunk driver traveling
in the wrong direction on
Interstate 75, who hit the
family van head-on in the
early hours of Saturday,
