The Bradley County Sheriff’s Office will conduct sobriety checkpoints throughout the county beginning Friday, October 30 and continuing through Sunday, November 1. Lt. W.G. Campbell, supervisor of BCSO’s Traffic Unit, said locations of checkpoints are not announced in advance and are based on data from previous DUI arrests and other traffic safety violations. This weekend’s initiative will include personnel from the traffic unit and patrol officers. Campbell said people attending Halloween parties should plan ahead making sure they have a designated driver to get home if they consume alcohol. He also reminds everyone to buckle up and to transport infants and children in age appropriate child restraints. Joining Campbell to announce the initiative, Sheriff Tim Gobble stressed safety in all holiday observances. He said motorists should watch for trick-or-treaters as they go door to door collecting their treats. “It takes only a few seconds for a careless or impaired driver to turn a celebration into tragedy,” Gobble said. |

The driver of a vehicle that was struck from behind on Hunt Road Tuesday morning in an apparent case of road rage relayed the location of the suspect vehicle to 9-1-1 dispatchers until Bradley County Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene. Just after 8 a.m. Jon Hicks contacted the communications center to report a pickup truck struck the rear bumper of his vehicle twice while both traveled along Hunt Road. After the second collision the truck sped away.  John David Kaiser Jr. Hicks followed the suspect and kept dispatchers advised by cell phone. Traffic Division deputies caught up with the two vehicles on Dalton Pike and there they took the suspect into custody. John David Kaiser Jr., age 52, is charged with reckless endangerment, a felony, and failure to exercise due care as a result of the crash.

Gary Davis, W.W. Johnson, Sheriff Tim Gobble, BCSO Lt. Eric Watson, Past Ruritan Governor and project coordinator Ray Myers, BCSO Deputy Travis Mull, Calvin Mathews, BCSO Sgt. Yvonne Johnson, BCSO Capt. Steve Lawson, Don Melton, and Linda Melton. Ruritan Clubs join the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office to help
promote Neighborhood Watch Local members of Ruritan International are helping the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office promote the National Neighborhood Watch program. Bradley County has several active community groups working through the sheriff’s office and organizers of the Ruritan effort hope to increase those numbers.
They have arranged a meeting for Monday, October 26 at Waterville Community Elementary School to launch a campaign that highlights the positive impact watch groups have on deterring criminal activity.
Joining in the ceremony to acknowledge the civic organizations assistance, Sheriff Tim Gobble pointed out the program works and has been a key factor in apprehending criminals in the past.
“Obviously our deputies can’t be everywhere so we rely on citizens to call us when they observe something that appears to be out of the ordinary. Living in a particular area we become familiar with the normal daily routines and activities of our friends and neighbors. So when you see something unusual or suspicious we want you to call us so we can send a deputy to check it out,” Sheriff Gobble said.
The sheriff expressed his appreciation to the coordinating committee of Ruritan for promoting interest in the program.
Residents of the Waterville area are encouraged to attend the meeting, but it is open to anyone that wants to learn more about the Neighborhood Watch program. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 pm. |
