Online court records do not list Bartlett’s attorney. He remained jailed Monday morning at Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
Police shortly before 6:30 p.m. Sunday received report of a crash and determined that an outbound truck on the North Douglas Highway had rear-ended a second truck.
A 48-year-old woman in the front truck was transported to the Bartlett Regional Hospital for treatment of injuries that police describe as non-life threatening.
