on a revoked license and with a bag of meth in my pants.
Those were the words of Audrain County Sheriff Matt Oller Wednesday morning in a Facebook post regarding an arrest from the day before.
Oller stated he noticed on a video monitor a deputy was arresting a lady in the sheriff's office. Amanda Smith had come to bond her boyfriend out of jail, but, as Oller stated, the 29-year-old woman had her license revoked in April.
When staff were dealing with other inmated and not looking at Smith, Oller saw the woman digging around in her clothes. He called over his chief deputy and had him watch the video monitor to review what had happened. The chief deputy then went to the booking desk and told Smith he would need the bag of meth she brought to the jail.
The sheriff had this piece of advice for future miscreants;
"If you're going to commit a couple of felonies, do it somewhere other than the Sheriff's Office. We'll arrest you and put you in jail for committing felonies - especially when you literally come to us to commit them in our presence, on video......... I mean, c'mon...."
