Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched today to a residence on Hwy 67 just outside of Alicia after the Lawrence County Dispatch received a frantic call from the mother of a suspect who stated her daughter was out of control, on drugs and attempting to ingest even more.
As deputies were in route to the area, the dispatch center received a second call from the mother stating the female suspect was now in the backyard attempting to shoot up with a needle. Officers arrived to find the female in a hostile mood and not being compliant, officers detained the female and after discovering drug paraphernalia placed the female under arrest.
Jessica Thomas of Bono was charged with Felony Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Disorderly Conduct, she is currently being held in the Lawrence County Jail awaiting a bond hearing.
