Acting on information from law enforcement in Missouri, Fulton County authorities made a traffic stop on April 23 taking 34-year-old Robert Stigall of Salem into custody. Missouri law enforcement had advised Stigall and a female had been found with a large amount of currency in their possession when they were stopped in a vehicle without a license plate. The two were also allegedly found with drug paraphernalia and a small amount of dabs or THC wax.
Stigall and his female passenger were stopped a second time by Fulton County authorities still traveling in a vehicle without a license plate.
Stigall told the officers the only reason he was driving was because his girlfriend had taken some medicine.
With Stigall on active supervision and a search waiver on file, officers located currency in the vehicle “different from the amount” reported by Missouri authorities. They also located drug paraphernalia with white residue.
When Stigall advised he had other illegal items on his person, officers retrieved a sandwich bag containing numerous baggies of a crystalline substance and a green vegetable material. The contents were field tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana.
Stigall has been charged with two felony and two misdemeanor drug-related counts. His bond was set at $40,000.
Online court records indicate Stigall has been arrested three times since late 2016 on felony drug charges. In late 2018, he was sentenced to five years in the Arkansas Department of Correction on drug and firearm charges. Those charges stemmed from an incident in August 2018 when law enforcement responded to a call in the Sturkie area of an individual throwing rocks and cussing at citizens. Stigall and another man, both on probation/parole, were taken into custody.
