Abingdon
Police Department
On Thursday, October 4, 2018, at approximately 9:53
AM, Abingdon Police Department officers were dispatched to the 200 block of
East Main Street in reference to a motor vehicle crash. When officers arrived,
they observed a box truck that hit a power pole, knocking the power lines down
on top of a Washington County, VA Sheriff’s Office police car. The two
occupants of the box truck were questioned regarding the incident, and it was
found that the driver, Trevis Lightfoot, had an outstanding warrant out of
Bristol, VA for Assault and Battery, in violation of §
18.2-57 of the Code of Virginia.
Lightfoot, 25, of Bristol, VA was charged with the following as a result of
the crash:
·
Fail to Maintain Control, in violation of § 46.2-853 of the Code of Virginia;
·
Drive
on suspended license 3rd offense, in violation of § 46.2-301 of the Code of Virginia; and

Lightfoot
was released on summons for the above charges.
The
passenger, Franklin Hudson, 30, of Bristol, VA was charged with Possession of
Schedule I or II, in violation of § 18.2-250 of the Code of Virginia. As a
result of a preliminary field test, the substance was consistent with
methamphetamine. Hudson is being held on
a $2000 secured bond at the Southwest Virginia Regional Jail.
This
incident closed East Main Street from Tanner Street to Hutton Street for
several hours. Thanks to Appalachian Electric Power for their quick response in
repairing the power pole and lines. We can now report that East Main Street is
back OPEN.
