Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Wednesday, April 24, 2024:
A fifty-three-year-old man and a forty-two-year-old woman was arrested last week after a traffic stop in the Mountain View area. According to a report, a sheriff’s deputy stopped the pickup truck being driven by Jason Darwin Baker. Baker appeared nervous and admitted to deputies that there was a small amount of marijuana inside the vehicle.
While emptying the content of the bag with the marijuana inside, two hydrocodone pills fell to the ground. Neither Baker nor his female passenger, Mandy Denise Lea, admitted to the pills, so both were placed under arrest.
Lea told deputies that she had only known Baker a few days and Baker said that the two had been fishing at Price Bridge nearby.
Lea was also found to have a pipe with around a gram of methamphetamine concealed in her bra.
Baker was charged with failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to maintain a single lane and possession of a Schedule II drug.
Lea was charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of a Schedule II drug and possession of a drug-related object.
Both were booked into the Chattooga County Jail on April 16th.
