He was arrested, locked up and later released and then rearrested directly after being released in Cannon County.

The Woodbury man who told Cannon County Sheriff's Deputies that he just got out of jail after being arrested on a driving on a revoked driver's license charge was rearrested. According to Cannon County Sheriff's Department reports, Deputies noticed a green Buick driven by Hester Lockridge make a wide turn off John Bragg Highway onto Bradyville Road. Authorities watched the vehicle and eventually decided to make a traffic stop.

Lockridge, the driver of the Buick, offered up the information that his license was revoked and he had just gotten out of jail. Dispatch verified the information for Mr. Lockridge and then a check was done on passenger Samantha Briggs. Dispatch advised that there was an active warrant on Briggs in Coffee County. Sheriff's Deputies arrested Briggs on that warrant. They also arrested Lockridge for driving on a revoked license.

Lockridge called a friend to retrieve the car so it would not have to be towed away. However, the person who was on his way to pick up the car was arrested by Woodbury Police as he was headed to the location of Lockridge. The subject who was going to pick up the car was arrested on methamphetamine charges.

Needless to say, the car was left on the roadside.
