Jailers Find Nine Grams of Meth on Plymouth Woman During Intake Search

A 39-year-old Plymouth woman was arrested Thursday, March 20, and was charged late last week with a felony-level controlled substance offense after a search of her person uncovered nearly $1,000 worth of methamphetamine.

Police first arrived at an apartment on the 15000 of 26^th Avenue North to execute a search warrant following an investigation into suspected drug activity at the location, according to a criminal complaint signed by Plymouth Police Sergeant Robert Topp. A male known to police—and who lived in the apartment—was exiting the front door as officers were preparing to enter, and told investigators that he had just purchased about a half gram of meth for $50. A subsequent search of the apartment found a range of items associated with illegal drug use—including a digital scale, plastic bags and traces of meth in several areas.

Both Kristina Rae Smith and Thomas Foley were arrested and transported to jail for booking.

A search of Smith’s person during intake found nearly nine grams of methamphetamine—worth more than $900. Foley, according to the complaint, conceded he had sold $50 worth of meth just prior to officers arriving at the apartment complex.

Both Smith and Foley have been charged with a second-degree controlled substance offense, for which the maximum penalty is up to 40 years in prison. Smith and Foley remained in custody as of this posting.
