JELLICO, TN (WLAF) – A non-working headlight prompted a pullover by a Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputy soon followed by an arrest.

Deputy Preston Mullins was patrolling Main Street at Jellico late on Wednesday night, May 5, when he passed a yellow Volkswagen that had a headlight out. Mullins made a traffic stop only to learn that the driver allegedly didn’t have a driver’s license or any form of identification.

The man told the deputy that he was Johnny Ray Perkins and his date of birth was January 30, 1968, according to the report from the sheriff’s office. Central dispatch could not match the name with the date of birth for the deputy. The man then allegedly said that Johnny Ray Perkins was his brother and that his name was Ray Perkins. No information could then be found on Ray Perkins. The man was not able to provide Mullins with his Social Security number.

The man eventually told the deputy that his name was Junior Perkins, and that the reason he lied about his identity was because he had outstanding fines based on the report. His date of birth was verified as July 25, 1973.
