A Woodbury man who told Cannon County Sheriff’s Deputies that he just got out of jail returned to the facility after being arrested on driving on a revoked driver’s license. According to Cannon County Sheriff’s Department reports, Deputies noticed a green Buick driven by Hester Lockridge make a wide turn off John Bragg Highway onto Bradyville Road. Allegedly the vehicle continued to cross the center line a couple more times before authorities decided to make a traffic stop. Lockridge offered up the information that his license was revoked and he had just gotten out of prison. Deputies allowed him to call for a licensed driver to come pick up the car to keep it from being towed. Dispatch verified the information for Mr. Lockridge and then a check was done on a passenger in the car Samantha Briggs. Dispatch advised that there was an active warrant on Briggs in Coffee County. Sheriff’s Deputies arrested Briggs on that warrant. They also arrested Lockridge for driving on a revoked license. They waited a short time for the licensed driver to come pick up the car but then it was discovered that the person had just been pulled over by the Woodbury Police Department and was under arrest for methamphetamine charges. The vehicle was left off the side of the roadway to be picked up by a licensed driver at a later time. Lockridge will answer to the charge April 5th in Cannon County General Sessions Court.
