One of six people arrested on drug-related charges at a house along South College Street has pled guilty.

Thirty-four-year-old Eric Olsen appeared during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Thursday. He not only pled guilty to his charges, but said all the drug paraphernalia found in the residence belonged to him.

He said, “The other people there, this was not their stuff.”

Olsen was sentenced to four years probation on a charge of possessing drug paraphernalia.

Officers went to the residence to conduct a compliance visit and found six people in the residence, along with 50 used syringes, glass smoking pipes and digital scales.

According to the probable cause affidavit, the syringes were found in every room in the house.
