Michael Ford 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 37-yearly Ford was stopped while riding his bicycle on Highway 62 East February 3rd. The Mountain Home policeman who made the stop reported being aware Ford had active warrants against him.

When the warrants were confirmed as still valid, Ford was arrested. During the arrest, Ford was asked if he had anything illegal on his person and he said he did. The officer found a clear plastic bag inside Ford’s pocket. Ford was reported to have admitted the substance was methamphetamine.
