Woman hides meth inside her body, man says he uses brass knuckles to give his wife back massages


Brittany Davis

A warrant with a $2,500 cash-only bond has been issued for 37-year-old Pomona resident Brittany Nicole Davis in connection with a case filed recently in which she is charged with the class D felony of possession of methamphetamine. 

 

License plate issues lead to traffic stop

According to the probable cause statement filed by Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper N. Vines, the officer was traveling northbound on PP Highway at 1:15 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8, when he met a southbound maroon 2003 Ford Mustang with no front license plate and expired rear license plate registration. 

Vines turned around, caught up with the Mustang on Highway 160 and turned on his lights and sirens. The vehicle pulled over, and the officer made contact with the driver, 30-year-old Aaron Davis. Brittany Davis was riding as a front seat passenger, the report says. 

Aaron and Brittany Davis reportedly told the officer that neither one of them had an active driver’s license, and they also said the vehicle belonged to Aaron’s 16-year-old stepson.

Vines ran the couple’s licenses through the state’s computer system, which showed that Aaron’s license status was “suspended” and Brittany’s was “valid expired with a hold placed on it from the Department of Revenue.”

Vines asked Aaron to sit in his patrol car, and he returned to the Mustang to ask Brittany about her driver’s license status.

 

Differing stories about marijuana presence leads to search of vehicle

“She appeared nervous, as her voice was shaken when she spoke,” Vines wrote in the report. “I asked Brittany the last time she had used drugs, and she replied, ‘Um, I smoked weed two days ago.’ I asked Brittany if there was any marijuana in the Ford, and she said, ‘Not that I know of.’”

Vines returned to his patrol car and ran the registration for the vehicle through the system. The license plates traced back to a different vehicle registered to a Matt Redburn. 

“While speaking with Aaron inside my patrol vehicle, I asked him the last time he smoke marijuana, and he replied, ‘Me? This morning,’” Vines wrote. “I asked him how much marijuana was located in the Ford, and he stated a couple grams were located in a bag. I asked Aaron if he used methamphetamine, and he replied, ‘Uh, I have not and we don’t have any.’ I asked Aaron if Brittany used methamphetamine, and he replied, ‘Uh, she has not used it today.’”

Vines placed Aaron under arrest for driving without a valid license. 

“I returned to the Ford and advised Brittany she had been dishonest about the presence of marijuana in the Ford. I asked Brittany who the marijuana belonged to, and she stated it was located behind the driver’s seat and she was the owner. I asked Brittany to retrieve the marijuana. Brittany reached behind the driver’s seat and retrieved a plastic baggie of marijuana and a red glass smoking device containing burnt marijuana.”

Vines placed Brittany in handcuffs in his patrol vehicle and searched the Mustang. 

 

Discovery of three needles, blood-soaked cotton

Missouri Department of Conservation Agent Jerry Kiger and MSHP Cpl. D. Johnson arrived on scene to assist with the stop. Brittany was transported to Johnson’s vehicle, and Aaron remained in Vines’ vehicle.

Searching the stopped vehicle, Vines found three syringes and a plastic bag containing a plastic bottle lid with a blood-soaked piece of cotton in the lid. The items were located in an empty Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips bag. 

Vines went back to his patrol car and asked Aaron if the syringes and cotton belonged to him, and he reportedly said they didn’t belong to him and he didn’t know they were in the car. 

Vines then went to the other patrol vehicle and showed Brittany the syringes and cotton and asked if they belonged to her. She denied ownership. 

“I asked Brittany if the contraband belonged to Aaron, and she replied, ‘I’m guessing they probably are.’ I asked Brittany who eats Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, and she replied, ‘He does,’” Vines wrote.

When the officer returned to his patrol car and asked Aaron if he owned the contraband, Aaron again said he did not. The officer asked if he enjoyed Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, and he said he did. 

 

A slew of illegal items

Vines returned to the Mustang and continued searching the vehicle with help from the other two officers. 

“While searching the Ford, we located the following items: a black metal grinder with marijuana residue inside the center console, two smoking devices containing marijuana residue on the floorboard behind the driver’s seat, a pillowcase in the back seat with approximately two dozen unused syringes, a multi-colored silicone container with marijuana wax residue on the floorboard behind the driver’s seat, one set of brass knuckles in the floorboard behind the driver’s seat, a pair of coveralls in the trunk with multiple unused syringes in the pockets and two black digital scales with marijuana residue inside an ammunition can in the trunk,” Vines wrote. 

At 2:06 p.m., nearly an hour after the stop was first initiated, both Aaron and Brittany were transported to the Ozark County Jail. 

“On the way to the jail, Aaron asked if I was seizing the brass knuckles, as he used them to massage Brittany’s back,” Vines wrote. 

 

‘I do have something on me’

At the jail, Vines asked Brittany if she had any contraband located on her and advised her of the Missouri revised statute that charges a defendant with an extra class C felony for possessing a controlled substance at a jail. 

“Brittany replied, ‘I do have something on me. Um, whenever you got behind us, he gave it to me, and, uh, said you were turning around. And that’s when we got to the end of PP Highway, OK, and he said, ‘Here he comes. Put it up.’ So, um, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you up front. I don’t want him to know that I even said anything,’” Vines wrote. 

The officer asked who uses syringes, and she said Aaron used them and she instead smokes methamphetamine. 

“I walked Brittany into the Ozark County Jail and advised the jail staff that Brittany needed to be strip- searched as she concealed contraband,” Vines wrote. “Jail staff escorted Brittany into a cell, and she retrieved a folded-up piece of paper containing a white crystal substance resembling methamphetamine in her vagina.”

The contraband was seized as evidence and was forwarded to the MSHP crime laboratory for analysis. 

Aaron Davis has been charged with driving without a valid license, a misdemeanor charge. He is scheduled to appear before Associate Judge Raymond Gross March 23.
