Man Charged With Falsifying Drug Test At Probation Office
A Leoma man was issued charges late last week after he was caught trying to falsify his mandatory drug test.
Officers with the Lawrenceburg Police Department were called to the State Probation and Parole office on South Locust Avenue around 3:30 Friday afternoon.
A Parole officer reported that he had been observing during a parolee’s mandatory drug test when he noticed that something was not quite right. He said that the man had a plastic bottle filled with urine in his pants and was attempting to use that urine for his drug test.
Officers spoke with the man, Riley Christopher Wilburn, age 20, of 2856 Johnson Branch Road. He told them that he had made the attempt because he “knew he would fail a drug test.”
Wilburn was issued a citation on a charge of falsifying a drug test. He is scheduled to answer the charge in Lawrence County General Sessions Court on April 3, 2014.
