Woman with stolen credit cards, meth found at Zanoni house without owner’s permission
A warrant with a $7,500 cash-only bond has been issued for the arrest of Jamie Judd, 43, of West Plains, in connection with an Ozark County case in which she’s charged with six counts of receiving stolen property, possession of methamphetamine and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia (with a prior drug offense). Officials at the Ozark County Jail say Judd is currently incarcerated in Fulton County, Arkansas, in a burglary case there.
According to the probable cause statement in the Ozark County case, prepared by Ozark County Lt. Matt Rhoades, at 6 p.m. Feb. 19, he and Ozark County Deputy James Fountain were conducting extra patrol by a house on County Road 330 in Zanoni after the owner of the home requested officers keep an eye on the place while she was away.
When they pulled by the home, they noticed a woman walking into the house. Rhoades confirmed with the owner that the woman was not allowed to be here. She was identified as Jamie Judd, and the officers discovered she had two active warrants out for her arrest at that time. One of the warrants was in relation to a burglary case.
During a search, Rhoades found a locked box. Judd had a key for it, and upon his request, she unlocked the box. Inside there were several debit and credit cards.
“Under Miranda, Jamie told me one of the cards was stolen, and that it pertained to a previous case involving a burglary in Arkansas,” Rhoades’ report said. He confirmed that was true with the Fulton County, Arkansas, Sheriff’s Department.
“I also located a small box in plain sight next to the bed where she had been sleeping for approximately two weeks, according to her. Inside the box, there were meth pipes and a glass bottle with a white crystal-like substance which I recognized with my training and experience to be meth. Next to the box there was a small bag containing used hypodermic needles,” the report says.
The pipes, bottle and needles all field-tested positive for amphetamines.
