A Gassville woman was sentenced to five years in prison on drug-related charges during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court last week.
Forty-eight-year-old Brandi Michelle Vanamberg pled guilty to charges of possessing drug paraphernalia and attempting to smuggle a glass smoking pipe into the Baxter County jail.
A traffic stop on Jan. 20 led to Vanamberg’s charges. She was taken to the Baxter County jail and warned that if she had anything illegal in her possession, she could be charged with a felony.
She said she did not possess what could be considered contraband, but it was found during the booking process that she had concealed the smoking pipe inside her body.
At the time of her latest arrest, she was on parole from an earlier drug-related case.
Vanamberg has had a number of mainly drug-related criminal charges filed against her in the past.
