Disturbance Call Leads to Drug Arrest |
| |
 |
Deputies answering a call for
service in Connelly Springs was the catalyst in a drug arrest Thursday
afternoon.
Officers responded to 2820 Coldwater Street after receiving a
disturbance call, and their investigation yielded information that drugs were
in the home occupied by Margaret Cornette Nichols (left).
Officers searched the home and seized a
quantity of methamphetamine, according to reports. |
|
| Nichols, 42, was arrested and taken to the
Sheriff's Office, where the case was turned over to the Burke County Narcotics
Task Force. Her arrest is one of several this month for possessing
methamphetamine, commonly referred to on the street as "crank" or "meth." |
| |
| Nichols was placed under a $1,000 secured bond
after being served a warrant for felonious possession of methamphetamine. She
will have a first court appearance on April 1st. |
