A woman found with methamphetamine, acid, and ketamine during a recent probation search is now in more trouble with the law.
52-year-old Melisha Renne Martin “Buttons” of Cooper Avenue, Smithville is under a $93,000 bond and her court date is June 5.
Martin is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver; possession of another controlled substance (acid) with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver; possession of yet another controlled substance (ketamine) with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver; and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on April 30 a deputy assisted officers with the Tennessee Department of Probation and Parole on a search at Martin’s home. Inside a wooden tote the officers found a pink canister which held a clear crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine that weighed 0.22 grams; three stamped style materials believed to be acid, and a clear baggie containing a crystal-like substance thought to be ketamine that weighed 1.22 grams. The search also turned up a scale with residue, two spoons with burn marks, baggies with white residue inside, and several straws containing white residue.
