Danny Bramblett
The second of two men from Clinton who managed to commit crimes in Baxter and Stone Counties on a single hunting trip, pled guilty to charges against him during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court last Monday.
Sixty-one-year-old Danny Joe Bramblett was sentenced to six years probation.
The other man involved in the incident, fifty-five-year-old Terry Lee Lovell, had already entered a no contest plea to charges of possessing a controlled substance and paraphernalia used to ingest drugs.
According to the probable cause affidavit, on November 14 last year, two Arkansas Game and Fish enforcement officers saw a truck pulled off to the side of a roadway. The officers, who were patrolling the Sylamore Wildlife Management Area in Stone County at the time, said it appeared the driver might be illegally hunting out of the vehicle.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the officers stopped to talk to Bramblett, also of Clinton, who was the only occupant in the truck.
He was checked through NCIC. The record showed he was a convicted felon with a waiver on file permitting warrantless searches of his person and property.
The officers went through Bramblett’s vehicle and reported seeing smoking pipes commonly used in the ingestion of methamphetamine. The men were staying in Lovell’s camper parked in a wooded area just over the Stone County line in Baxter County.
Lovell is also alleged to have reported there was methamphetamine in the camper the men had been staying in.
The Baxter County Sheriff’s Office was contacted and a search warrant was obtained for the camper.
Baxter County deputies found drug paraphernalia in several areas of the camper.
According to the probable cause affidavit, a white substance contained in a small plastic wrapping field-tested positive for methamphetamine.
Bramblett’s charges in Baxter County included possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
