WARREN COUNTY, Tenn. - A traffic stop in Warren County led to multiple felony drug charges after deputies reportedly discovered suspected fentanyl, methamphetamine, prescription medication and cash inside a vehicle. Scroll down for photos released by the Warren County Sheriff's Office. 

According to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy stopped a vehicle on Rock Island Road on August 7, 2026, after observing a traffic violation. The vehicle was being driven by Tierra Paige Brown of White County.

During the stop, the deputy reportedly observed a clear baggie containing a white substance inside the vehicle. A subsequent investigation led to the discovery of approximately 11 grams of a substance believed to be fentanyl, about 5 grams of methamphetamine, more than 150 pills believed to be a muscle relaxant, drug paraphernalia and more than $1,400 in cash.

Brown and two passengers, Nikkie Simmons and David Arthur Elliott, both of White County, were subsequently charged with felony possession of methamphetamine, felony possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, possession of a legend drug without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Brown and Elliott were arrested and transported to the Warren County Jail. Simmons was taken to a hospital for a medical condition authorities said was unrelated to the traffic stop and is expected to appear in court at a later date.

Brown and Elliott were scheduled to appear in Warren County General Sessions Court for arraignment on Thursday, August 13, 2026.

The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities said the substances seized during the traffic stop will be submitted for further testing.
