A Yellville woman, 24-year-old Caitlyn K. Bradford, is back in the Marion County Detention Center after walking away from a drug treatment center.
Marion County Sheriff’s Office Captain William Batterton says Bradford now has two failure to appear misdemeanor charges to add to her previous felony charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.
Bradford was wanted on a warrant and was arrested in late June after a call came into Bull Shoals City Hall advising that she had been seen at the Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock.
According to the arrest affidavit, an officer from the Bull Shoals Police Department attempted to locate Bradford at the boat dock and followed a vehicle from that location for two blocks where it pulled into a business parking lot, and the Mountain Home woman got out.
After confirming the outstanding warrant, the officer, with the assistance of two other law officers, conducted a search of the vehicle Bradford was a passenger in. Bradford allegedly told officers there was methamphetamine in the vehicle, and it belonged to her.
Officers located a black box holding three plastic bags containing a clear, crystal type substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine, along with a pipe. The combined contents of the bags totaled 1.6 grams.
Bradford’s bond is set at $30,750.
