    She had a warrant for failure to appear for shoplifting and they still set a bond!! Do they think she is going to show up in court on more serious charges?

    Meth is really bad animal it will grab you and not let you go till your life is over and people set in judgement let me tell you just wait till you get someone you know and love addicted it’s a terrible thing to have to watch I myself have been there and done it but I survived by getting away from that meth infested place and they found 364 grams And she was running one pot HaHa that’s a good one she better get a good lawyer so he can have that tested cause you will end up with 364g sudifed and probably no actual meth so take it easy as you can on people cause to me it no different than that cig habit you can’t seem to kick or that ice
    Cold beer you gotta have everyday after work yea it’s illegal but if beer and cigs were illegal would you stop or break the law Well that’s it no periods or question marks no paragraphs just my 2 cents

    Scott said it very well indeed. Extremely addictive drug!! Best to stay clear of any and all people who are involved with ANY part of meth. This dangerous drug is a guarantee to ruin your life.

    Her mandatory minimum sentence will put her away for a very long time. Not sure it will save her life to be in prison, but it sure will save others.

    Another case of stupid gets you jail time.

    Instead of coming in and getting a slap on the wrist for the shoplifting she will (or at least should) get a serious time for meth production and distribution.

    Good job, now go get some more.

    Now that would explain why she looks 74 when she is only 54. Take notes kids !! Don’t do drugs!

    Shouldn’t it be a 3 pot meth lab with the recovery of the marijuana?

    I kid, I kid, good job LEO recovering that much meth. That’s 364g that won’t destroy a few lives.
