A Lyerly woman arrested in Floyd County last week on meth and shoplifting-related charges is now facing an additional felony charge stemming from a separate incident in West Rome.

According to jail reports, Elizabeth Marie Gunnells, 44, has been charged with felony entering auto in connection with an incident reported Nov. 23 on Leon Street. Reports state Gunnells is accused of stealing clothing and sunglasses valued at $351.

The new charge follows Gunnells’ earlier arrest after an incident at the West Rome Walmart, where reports said she allegedly concealed an iPhone 11 in her back pocket and left without paying. During the arrest, Gunnells was allegedly found with a glass pipe containing meth hidden in her bra. After arriving at the jail, she is also accused of intentionally ingesting drugs in an attempt to keep authorities from finding them.

Gunnells is charged with possession of methamphetamine, tampering with evidence, crossing the guard line with drugs, possession of drug-related objects, and theft by shoplifting, along with the newly added entering auto charge. Jail records indicated she remained in custody as of Tuesday on a $7,500 bond.
