A Bull Shoals woman pled no contest to drug-related charges during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court Monday and was put on probation for four years.Sixty-four-year-old Pamela Stauffer was arrested in both Baxter and Marion Counties after being found to be in possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia to ingest the drug, including glass smoking pipes.
According to the probable cause affidavit in the Baxter County case that was opened in June last year, Stauffer initially denied that the bags in which the methamphetamine and paraphernalia were found belonged to her. Officers noted mail addressed to Stauffer had been put in one of the bags. She was initially pulled over in both counties on traffic violations.
Stauffer was arrested in early March in Marion County after initially being pulled over on a traffic violation. A search of Stauffer’s vehicle turned up five small plastic bags containing a total of 7.4 grams of methamphetamine. An oblong-shaped white pill, identified as acetaminophen/hydrocodone, was also discovered. The sentence in the Marion County case will run concurrent with the one handed down in the Baxter County case.
