On April 14, 2020 at 7:59 a.m., a Norfolk Police officer conducted a traffic stop on a three-wheeled scooter in the 1100 block of Taylor Avenue. The scooter was not licensed and the driver was not wearing a helmet. The driver was identified as Matthew M. Turley, 36, of Norfolk. A check of his license showed that his license was currently revoked. Turley was then arrested for operating a motor vehicle during a 15-year revocation period. In a subsequent search of Turley, officers recovered an orange pill bottle containing a crystalline like substance, two white plastic straws, a small light bulb with burnt residue and multiple torch lighters. The substance tested positive for methamphetamine. He was then arrested for possession of a controlled substance. He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
