The driver of a truck equipped with a height-reaching "cherry picker" freely told Memphis police on Sunday that he was driving when the truck snagged overhead lines and struck a pole in Whitehaven.
But officers called about 7:45 p.m. to Brooks and Lakeview grew suspicious when they heard comments such as, "Girl, you did it this time," from people gathered at a store there after the crash.
Police determined that a woman on the scene, Lori A. Johnson, 46, of Enville, Tenn., southeast of Jackson, was actually driving the truck, according to a court affidavit. They charged her with giving false information in an accident report, reckless driving, driving while her license is revoked, without a license in her possession and without insurance.
The man who claimed he was was driving, Malcolme J. Mosley, 53, of Memphis, was charged with giving false information in an accident report.
