Amy Pruitt of Mountain Home entered a guilty plea to drug-related charges during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday and was sentenced to four years probation.
The 31-year-old Pruitt was arrested April 13th when officers went to a local motel seeking a person wanted on an outstanding warrant.
A number of people, including Pruitt and the person wanted on the warrant, were found in the room. When asked if she had anything illegal on her, Pruitt reached into her pants and produced a plastic bag containing a substance field testing positive for methamphetamine.
A glass smoking pipe was also found in the bathroom next to a woman’s purse. It was noted in the police report Pruitt was the only female in the room.
Pruitt faced a felony charge for possessing the methamphetamine and a misdemeanor charge of possessing paraphernalia used to ingest the drug.
