A 28-year-old Mountain Home woman was given a seven-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the newest drug charges filed against her during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Monday.
Ashley Marie Coniglio’s electronic court records show mainly drug arrests in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and this year.
Her latest arrest came in early February, when the vehicle in which she was riding was stopped.
The stop was initiated after an officer with the 14th Judicial District Drug Task Force recognized Coniglio and knew she had outstanding warrants and was reported to be an absconder from supervision by Arkansas Community Corrections.
The driver of the vehicle, 28-year-old Casey Dale Houston of Yellville, was also arrested. He was released after posting a $5,000 bond.

Both Coniglio and Casey were on parole at the time they were arrested early this year.
According to the probable cause affidavit, a clear plastic bag was found in the vehicle. Both Coniglio and Casey denied ownership of the substance at the time, and both were arrested.
PAST RECORD
Coniglio was in the company of two males in late 2018 and was charged with participating in the sale of methamphetamine to an informant working with law enforcement.
In late June 2019, Coniglio was arrested in Marion County when officers conducted a compliance visit on a male probationer in Summit. Coniglio was at the residence. Drugs and drug paraphernalia were found.
In September and December last year, Coniglio was arrested after selling methamphetamine to confidential informants.
In 2020, Coniglio was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, but that case was dropped by the state due to insufficient evidence.
Through the years, Coniglio has been put on probation and given prison time.
