A Baxter County man, 43-year-old David Barry Liner of Mountain Home, has been arrested, after he allegedly took possession of a UPS package containing 180 grams of methamphetamine.
According to the probable cause affidavit, an investigator with the 14th Judicial District Drug Task Force was contacted May 19 regarding a suspicious package, with UPS personnel requesting a K9 sniff for narcotics. The package was addressed to a shipping company in Mountain Home, with Liner as the receiver.
A K9 sniff of four packages indicated the odor of narcotics in the suspicious one. A search warrant was obtained for the suspicious package, with the illegal drug found inside.
That afternoon, Liner was reached via telephone, with the Mountain Home man requesting the package be delivered to the Casey’s General Store in Gassville.
The investigator met with Liner and handed him the package containing the narcotics. Liner took possession of the box and placed it in his vehicle.
Liner has been charged with a felony count of possession of methamphetamine with the purpose to deliver. His bond was set at $25,000.
Online court records indicate Liner has an open case from April when he was charged with felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was arrested shortly after midnight on April 2 when a Mountain Home Police officer saw him walking on South Street with a backpack. According to the probable cause affidavit, Liner was stopped due to the recent break-ins in that area.
While the officer was speaking with Liner, he noticed the Mountain Home man allegedly toss a glass pipe.
His bond in that case was set at $2,500.
