plea-agreement

A 44-year-old Boonville woman facing multiple drug-related felony charges after authorities found controlled substances in her vehicle and residence on March 23, 2021, agreed to a plea deal and has been sentenced to spend time in state prison.

According to a probable-cause statement, authorities found methamphetamine and marijuana in Talesha Woods’ vehicle. Woods told authorities she has a medical marijuana card and can possess some marijuana legally. Authorities told Woods they believed more methamphetamine was inside her residence, and they would be applying for a search warrant. Woods told authorities there was more methamphetamine at her residence, and she would take them there. Authorities say they located another clear baggie containing a large crystal rock- which tested positive to be methamphetamine- and a digital scale with crystal residue on it; as well as several controlled pills.

According to court documents, Woods was charged with felonies for delivery of a controlled substance and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.

During her most-recent court appearance, Woods pleaded guilty to one of the possession charges, and the court dismissed the other charges.

The judge agreed with the state’s recommendation and sentenced Woods to three years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.
