One Arrested On Her Way To Sell Meth
Mesa County, Colo. -- At 8 p.m. yesterday, Jennifer Hines, 27, of Silt, was arrested by deputies with the agency's Street Crimes unit on outstanding warrants and methamphetamine related charges. This isn't Jennifer's first such arrest, she was nabbed twice in 2013 by officers with the Grand Junction Police Department for meth possession and drug paraphernalia.
In addition to her most recent meth possession charge, she was booked into the Mesa County Detention Facility on traffic violations and intent to distribute methamphetamine, a class 2 felony charge. Initially, Jennifer attempted to hide the more than 14 grams of meth in her body cavity, but self admitted she had it with the intent to sell it in Orchard Mesa, for an estimate $600.00, before deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle she was driving in the 400 block of 30 Road, Grand Junction.
Jennifer was booked five times into the Mesa County Detention Facility in 2013. This is her first jail booking in Mesa County in 2014.
