A rural Mountain Home woman was given 10 years in prison during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Monday.
Kimberly Dicks was arrested when officers went to her residence along County Road 39 in late December last year to conduct a compliance visit.
According to court records, Dicks was on probation in an earlier drug case with a waiver on file permitting warrantless searches of her person and property.
A number of items of drug paraphernalia, including smoking pipes, scales and empty plastic bags containing methamphetamine residue, were found in the residence.
One bag was reported to contain a mix of methamphetamine and fentanyl.
A 12-gauge shotgun was found under a bed in the residence, leading to a felon in possession of a firearm charge. The more serious charge of simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms filed against Dicks was dismissed by the state.
A male who shared the house with Dicks, 55-year-old Jimmy Shaw, was also arrested and faces the same charges as were filed against Dicks.
He entered a not guilty plea in late March and is free on $5,000 bond.
