Baxter County Sherrif, Mountain Home Police, Arkansas State Police and the 14th Judicial Drug Task Force in a joint investigation have arrested 4 Baxter County residents for drug trafficking and manufacturing Methamphetamine.
Officers had developed intelligence on the three suspects as to their possible involvement from the state’s “Leads on Labs” program which showed the purchase of pseudoephedrine by the suspects. With this information officers were able to obtain a search warrant.
At approximately 5pm on Wednesday, January 19th, officers executed the search warrant at a residence on County Road 99 in Baxter County. Numerous items used in the manufacture of Meth were seized.
Bradley DeWeese and Stephenie Vandrimmelen were taken into custody without incident. A third suspect was not at the residence at the time of the search warrant. Officers arrested the third suspect when it later arrived at the same residence and then tried to flee. The driver, Bobby Gilley was arrested and a passenger in the car was also arrested.
Bradley DeWeese and Bobby Gilley were both out on bond of $25,000.00 from an October arrest for Conspiracy to Manufacture Meth.
