A pantless woman from Arkansas who was found with eight grams of methamphetamine in her car was arrested Tuesday night in Mesa County.
Officials said a Mesa County Sheriff’s deputy checking a vehicle in the parking lot of a closed business at 10 p.m., found the woman, who they said was also less than honest about her true identity.
Eventually, she was identified as Wendy Butcher, 34.
Butcher claimed her car had ran out of gas, adding that she was trying to make her way back to Arkansas.
Officials said the deputy who found Butcher also located multiple identifying documents with different names, social security numbers and more. Drug paraphernalia was found in the car, along with the meth. Butcher reportedly told the deputy that she had spent some time in Utah and thought she had a warrant out of Utah.
Butcher was booked into the Mesa County Detention Facility on charges related to the meth possession, drug paraphernalia, criminal impersonation, criminal possession of two or more financial devices, criminal possession of identification documents and driving under restraint/denied license.
She will appear in court on April 21.
