A Mountain Home woman appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court Monday to face charges in criminal cases opened on her in Baxter and Marion County.
Thirty-four-year-old Jamie Falconburg pled guilty to those charges and was sentenced to 10 years-probation. She was also required to pay victim restitution.
She was arrested in Baxter County in late March when officers went to a room at the Mountain Home Inn to serve warrants on Falconburg and 43-year-old Daniel Lynn Walton, Jr., of Mountain Home who were both said to be living there.
As the warrants were being served, officers noticed multiple items of drug paraphernalia and a small quantity of methamphetamine in plain view.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Falconburg is said to have told the officers that a white powder found in the room, was methamphetamine we had scraped up.
A glass smoking pipe containing residue that field-tested positive for methamphetamine was also found.
Falconburg and Walton were both charged with possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia used to ingest the drug.
The case against Walton remains active and he is due to reappear in circuit court May 12.
ARRESTED AGAIN
Falconburg was arrested several times in Marion County for passing altered money orders that had been given to her by tenants of an apartment complex in Flippin where she served as manager.
The money orders were altered to show Falconburg was the person to whom the money order was written and not the apartment complex.
When a bank contacted Falconburg about the suspicious money orders, she is reported to have said the instruments should have been made to her and not the apartments and that was why she had altered them.
In early October last year, an officer with the Flippin police department went to the apartment complex in response to a report that a zero-turn mower owned by the apartment management company was missing.
Investigators discovered that Falconburg had apparently put the mower up as collateral for a bail bond.
Falconburgs charges included possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia to ingest the drug, theft of property, forgery and criminal attempt to commit forgery.
