On Saturday night April 17, 2021, Middlesboro Police Officers were dispatched to a report of a vehicle collision at 21st Street and Cumberland Avenue involving a parked car being struck by a white Chevrolet passenger car.
Officer Ryan Collins states in citations that contact was made with the driver, 25-year-old Brian Partin and passenger Dolly Brock both of Ewing, Va. The officer says that Partin had a visible injury to his nose and Brock had an injury above her eye. While EMS was contacted for treatment of injuries, both refused medical attention.
Brian Partin was exhibiting behavior consistent with being intoxicated and was administered standard field sobriety tests which he failed. He told the officer that the reason for the accident was that the vehicle was having driving issues.
After Officer Collins determined that Partin was under the influence, he was arrested. A search incident to arrest yielded a Hydrocodone pill in Partin’s pants pocket. Beside the vehicle was a plastic bag containing 15 Clonazepam pills which lead to the officer asking Dolly Brock for consent to search her purse.
