A woman was sentenced to three years in prison after her probation in a 2020 drug case was revoked during a recent session of Baxter County Circuit Court.
Thirty-eight-year-old Stephanie Blythe Sellers who lists an address in Rogers was arrested in mid-September 2020.
After a car in which she was a passenger was stopped, a drug dog was brought to the scene and “gave a strong alert on the vehicle” and a search was conducted.
According to the probable cause affidavit in the 2020 case, Sellers was reported to have said multiple times during her encounter with officers “that her life was over.”
She was found to have two loaded syringes in her possession containing a clear substance she told police was methamphetamine.
When she was being dressed out at the Baxter County Detention Center, Sellers was found to have a glass smoking device containing suspected methamphetamine residue concealed in her bra.
Sellers pled guilty to her charges stemming from the 2020 traffic stop on March 11, 2021. She was put on supervised probation for 60 months.
A petition to revoke the probation was filed on September 25 alleging that Sellers had committed five violations of the terms and conditions of her probation.
She was reported to have been arrested in Sebastian County for possessing methamphetamine and paraphernalia to use the drug in September.
Sellers is being charged in Sebastian County as a habitual offender which means she could receive an extended term of imprisonment.
According to the revocation petition, Sellers is also being cited for failing to report to her supervising officer, changing her address without notifying her supervising officer, evading supervision and failing to pay supervision fees.
