Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter reports an Oran area man, and Benton area woman in custody at the Scott County Jail.
Glen Adams (56) of 1956 County Highway 250, Oran has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, and possession of a firearm silencer.
Amber Patrick, also known as Amber Thomure (29) of 160 County Highway 346, Benton has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sheriff Walter states that on Friday, February 27th, at approximately 1:10 p.m., Senior Deputy Matthew Scroggins and Deputy Carl Rose went to 1956 County Highway 250 in reference to someone refusing to leave.
The deputies met with Adams, the complainant, who stated he had told Patrick several times to leave. When speaking to Patrick, Deputy Scroggins noticed an aluminum wrapped pipe next to her on a table. Through further questioning and investigation, it was discovered that Patrick was in possession of a pipe with residue that tested positive for marijuana, and a pipe with white residue that tested positive for methamphetamine. She also produced marijuana she stated belonged to Adams.
Adams consented to a search of his residence. That search resulted in the discovery of what Deputy Scroggins believed to be a homemade firearm silencer.
Adams and Patrick were arrested and transported to the Scott County Jail pending the filing of formal charges by the Scott County Prosecuting Attorney.
Sheriff Walter asks that anyone who has additional information on Adams or Patrick, other narcotics information, other firearms crimes, or information regarding any other criminal activity to contact the Scott County Sheriff’s Office at 545-3525, or leave a message on the crime tip line at 1-866-210-4322.
Adams and Patrick remain in custody at the Scott County Jail. Bond was set by the court for each person at $5,000.00 cash or surety.
