An officer with keen observation was able to take an alleged impaired driver off the street after spotting the subject over the weekend. Detective Phillip Reed of the Pikeville Police Department noticed 25 year old Suzanne Garrett operating a vehicle near Justice Court in Pikeville allegedly knowing that Garrett had a suspended license. Hunt then executed a traffic stop on the vehicle and also found 29 year old Jamie Garrett in the car, who officers stated had warrants for his arrest. Officer John Hunt stated that the two both appeared to be under the influence, at which time a search of the vehicle uncovered various prescription narcotics. Both were charged with 4 counts of possession of a controlled substance as well as other traffic related violations. The two were lodged at the Pike County Detention center and ordered to be held without bond this morning by District Judge Kelsey Friend. Both plead not guilty and both were scheduled for a bond hearing later this month.
