A 29-year-old Lyerly man wound up in jail on his birthday after being stopped by Summerville Police on Highway 114 last Thursday. According to arrest records from the Summerville Police Department, police pulled over a black GMC Sierra after an officer noticed that the tags were expired. When officers approached the vehicle, the driver showed signs of being under the influence of alcohol. Michael Chaney Warnock was charged with multiple offences including driving under the influence of alcohol, license not on person, expired tag, open container of alcohol, a seat belt violation and failure to signal when changing lanes. Additionally, police say that Warnock had the tag for a different vehicle on his truck, which lead to the additional charge of affixing a license plate with the intent to conceal identity. Warnock was booked into the Chattooga County Jail following his arrest.
