Police responded to a motel after an employee called about a woman in the lobby. Police spoke with the woman who appeared to be heavily intoxicated. She said she came to this motel with a man, but couldn’t remember his name, and she said she had had two large coins (which she said the largest was the size of a small burger from McDonald's). She had shown them to the man and he said he would help her find out what they were worth, so she gave them to him while at the motel room. Eventually, a disorder occurred and he made her leave the room. She said she was made to leave before she got her coins back. When police arrived, the man and his vehicle were no longer there. The woman could provide no identifying information or value regarding the coins. She requested a ride from police to a different location in the city, and she was transported to 4th Avenue and E. 23rd Street as she requested.

An officer conducted a traffic stop on N. Orchard Knob Avenue. A woman was driving the car with a fake temp tag on it when the officer pulled her over for a taillight violation. She had proper insurance and a valid license. The officer gave her a warning for the offenses and told her about the fake tag. The tag was removed from the vehicle and the officer told her it wasn’t possible to legally purchase a temp tag after she explained that she had been buying them from a nearby car lot for $50 each time it expired because the person she bought the car from in Murfreesboro had never sent her the title. The officer told her she needed to go to the courthouse and file a claim for a lost title in order to register the car and if anyone tried to sell her another temp tag that she should call the police. Now that she is aware she cannot purchase and display a temp tag that is not issued by the state to her, if she does it again it could be charged as a felony for falsifying an official state document.
