Bobbie Watroba of Mountain Home was given six years probation after pleading guilty to drug-related charges during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday.

The 43-year-old Watroba was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by an Arkansas State Police trooper in late January along State Highway 5. According to the probable cause affidavit, the trooper stopped the vehicle because the trailer it was towing did not have lights.

Both Watroba and the driver of the vehicle were arrested after it was found she had an active warrant, and the driver was listed as an absconder by probation and parole.

During an inventory of the vehicle following the arrest, the trooper found a black pouch in Watroba’s purse. The contents included drugs and drug paraphernalia.
