A Paragould resident, Jeremy Johnson, faces three felony charges and one misdemeanor after police said a search of his home uncovered suspected methamphetamine and marijuana, drug paraphernalia and cash.
Search and Arrest
Investigators with the Paragould Police Department’s VICE Unit executed a search warrant at Johnson’s residence, where they found a plastic bag containing about 15 grams of a white crystal-like substance consistent with methamphetamine, and about 3.7 grams of a green leafy substance consistent with marijuana.
Johnson was advised of his rights and agreed to speak with investigators, who also found incriminating evidence on his cellphone. Johnson allegedly told investigators he would not keep more than an ounce of illegal drugs at a time and would purchase multiple ounces in a week.
Johnson faces possession of a controlled substance with purpose to deliver, a Class A felony; possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class B felony; unlawful use of a communication device, a Class C felony; and possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance with purpose to deliver, a Class A misdemeanor.
District Judge Curtis Hitt found probable cause and set Johnson’s bond at $100,000 surety. If released, Johnson must wear an ankle monitor, refrain from possessing weapons and live a law-abiding life.
