Investigation leads to an arrest and seizure of suspected methamphetamine and paraphernalia

On Thursday, April 27, 2017, two Nolan County deputies were on county road 220 conducting an investigation of suspicious activity, when they located a red Dodge coupe that was parked in the 1800 block. Contact was made with the driver, Shawna Lanora Presley, of Sweetwater who was accompanied by a male passenger, also of Sweetwater. In continuance of the investigation, the deputies detected further indicators of criminal activity that subsequently lead to the discovery of suspected methamphetamine and paraphernalia used in its consumption. Ms. Presley was placed under arrest and transported to the Nolan County jail where she was charged with the felony offense of possession of a controlled substance. This case will be filed with the 32nd Judicial District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
