Edgar Carlisle of Mountain Home entered a guilty plea to drug-related charges during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday and was given six years probation.

The 39-year-old Carlisle was arrested following two traffic stops.

A Mountain Home police officer made the first stop January 8th when Carlisle was observed running a stop sign and spinning his tires. In the probable cause affidavit, the officer noted as he approached the vehicle, he could see Carlisle moving around in the vehicle. The officer did a pat-down and found a pipe in Carlisle’s right front pocket commonly used for the ingestion of drugs.

A plastic bag containing a substance field-testing positive for methamphetamine was found in the vehicle Carlisle was driving.

Carlisle was also arrested in April after Cotter police stopped a vehicle he was driving when it was discovered the passenger in the car had an outstanding warrant. Drugs and drug paraphernalia were also found during the second stop.
