An Ozark County woman has been arrested on a drug charge, after law enforcement reports she walked into the sheriff’s office, crying and talking to herself.
The Ozark County Times reports 34-year-old Amber Davis of Isabella has been charged with possession of methamphetamine.
According to a probable cause statement, a woman, later identified as Davis, entered the Ozark County Sheriff’s Department lobby around 10 p.m. Nov. 29.
She was wearing a hood and was pacing in the lobby, while talking to herself, the report notes.
When officers asked the woman to remove her hood so they could see who she was, they recognized her as Davis. “(She) kept repeating that she couldn’t forget the smell of herself as a dead person,” the report notes.
Firemen in Ozark County responded to two simultaneous blazes Tuesday, as they battled high winds.
A Facebook post by the Theodosia Area Volunteer Fire Department notes the first call was for a hay barn fire on Mae Lane and Wallace Ranch Road in Theodosia. The barn and contents were a total loss, however, the fire was contained, and there were no injuries.
The fire was reportedly caused by welding sparks, according to a statement from the property owner.
The second call was for Patriot Internet, located in the strip mall next to Bullseye in Theodosia. While en route to the hay barn blaze, Pontiac firemen responded to this incident and requested Gainesville’s assistance, since self-contained breathing apparatus were needed due to heavy toxic smoke.
