Tennessee woman arrested near POET, video surfaces on YouTube channel

Video of a Shelby County Sheriff arresting a 52-year-old Tennessee woman Thursday is drawing attention on a YouTube channel.

 

Sheriff Larry Lacy arrived on scene near POET Biorefining – Shelbyville, 2373 W. 300 North, to assist the Shelbyville Police Department, who responded to a call of a woman trespassing.

 

Officers asked the woman her purpose for being in the area and her response on video was “taking pictures.” Her car was parked on property owned by POET.

 

Later identified as Shelly Harrison of Nashville, Tenn., the woman refused to present identification to neither a Shelbyville Police Department officer nor Sheriff Lacy.

 

Harrison was taken to the Shelby County Jail and charged with Refusal to Identify and Criminal Trespass. She is awaiting a court hearing, according to a media release Friday from the Shelby County Sheriff Department.

 

Sheriff Lacy was later identified in the video for his involvement in the 2005 shooting of Richard Burton of Edinburgh.

 

Sheriff Louie Koch would not speculate if Sheriff Lacy was targeted by the YouTube channel in the video.

 

According to the media release, the video and actions of all parties are part of an ongoing investigation.
