Misty Wilkey
_ 941 Spring Creek Rd.: On Nov. 5, police were called to Parkridge East in regard to a vehicle theft. According to an affidavit of complaint, when officers arrived they spoke with a woman who told them that her wife was in the emergency room in a coma due to overdosing on drugs earlier in the afternoon. The woman told police that her wife had been in a motel room with Misty Wilkey, who drove a 1997 VW Golf to the hospital for the couple. The report states that the overdose victim’s ex-husband was also at the hospital with their children. The report states that the owners of the VW objected when Wilkey said she was going to leave the hospital via their car.
According to the report, Wilkey told the owner of the vehicle that “ya’ll are just trying to test me.” Wilkey got into the vehicle as the ex-husband of the overdose victim and another woman standing behind the car banged on the rear of the vehicle. The report states that Wilkey began backing up the car and the people had to move. The report states that Wilkey then swerved in an attempt to run over the woman and she jumped out of the way. The car took off on Spring Creek Road headed toward Ringgold Road.
The ex-husband told police that Wilkey had been staying at the 4A’s Inn on Ringgold Road. The report states that police responded to the motel, but a clerk there said that no one had been back to that room since EMS had responded to the overdose call.
Police caught up with Wilkey on Nov. 7 at Parkridge East when someone called to advise that there was a woman there who had outstanding warrants. A police report states that Wilkey was found visiting the room of the woman who had been brought in with the overdose. The report states that when Wilkeyy was searched, officers found a small amount of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia on her person. She was written misdemeanor citations for this incident.
Wilkey, 36, of an Athens, Tenn. address, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault and Theft over $1,000. She is due to appear in municipal court on Dec. 19.
