Two criminal cases were filed this week against a woman who was arrested over the holiday weekend. In one, she’s accused of methamphetamine and marijuana possession. In another, she’s accused of trespassing onto property where she’s been warned before not to trespass there.

Nicole Leann Burnette, 34, of Springville, was arrested Saturday, May 25, by Bloomfield Deputy Marshal Jordan Allor.

Officer Allor conducted a traffic stop on a black 1999 Chevrolet Silverado early Saturday, May 25, at the intersection of West Main Street and South Franklin Street in Bloomfield for the reason that the plate on the truck did not match the truck. Burnette was the driver.

Allor said Burnette told him the stop was ridiculous and this was the second time she’d been pulled over. He said he hadn’t stopped her before.

He also said when he approached the side of the truck to speak to her, he could smell the odor of marijuana coming from inside the truck and he asked her to step outside.

Sgt. Bobby Pierce of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department was there to assist and also said he could smell the odor of marijuana.

With GCSD Deputy Davis Aerne also arriving to assist, Aerne stood with Burnette while the truck was searched by Allor and Pierce.

Allor reported they found a hand-rolled cigarette, a digital scale, a Ziploc bag containing a white crystal substance, at least three glass smoking devices and a marijuana grinder that resembled a revolver cylinder. Field tests revealed the presence of methamphetamine and marijuana.

Burnette was booked into jail where she was being held without bond pending her court appearance.

She is facing preliminary charges of:

• Possession of methamphetamine, a Level 6 felony,

• Possession of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor, and

• Possession of paraphernalia, a Class C misdemeanor.

But that’s not the only criminal case that was filed against her this week.

In a separate case investigated by Deputy Davis Aerne, Burnette is accused of trespassing, a Class A misdemeanor.

On May 19, Deputy Aerne responded to a location on East Rollins Lane after a man called the sheriff’s department to report that Burnette kept driving her black Chevrolet truck onto his property, while pulling a flatbed trailer.

When Aerne talked to the resident, he explained he owns a driveway/lane with a loop next to his home that Burnette continues to use as a turn around.

When Aerne talked to Burnette, she said she drove her truck and trailer around the loop to get it turned around and that she thought it was a county road. Aerne explained it was not and Burnette signed a form and agreed not to return to the man’s property.

But when Aerne got back to the sheriff’s department, he learned this is not the first time Burnette has been warned about trespassing on the man’s property. In August of 2017, Deputy David Elmore had investigated another complaint about the same issue and at that time, Burnette signed a form and agreed not to trespass on the property.

The trespassing case was filed in Greene Superior Court on Wednesday, May 29.
