A Pampa woman was busted on possession of a controlled substance at Greenbelt Lake last week.
Candace Sue Barker was taken into custody after the Donley County Sheriff’s Department received a call of an intoxicated woman brandishing a gun on Sandy Beach shortly after midnight, Wednesday, July 5.
Law enforcement responded and found Barker with a flashlight and lock blade knife, walking the beach. A search of her vehicle turned up 46g of a substance believed to be methamphetamine and a set of electronic scales used to measure the drug. Officials also seized $945.19 and a 1985 Chevy pickup.
Barker was booked into the Donley County Jail on charges of possession of a controlled substance and public intoxication, said Chief Deputy Butch Blackburn.
Justice of the Peace Jimmy Johnson arraigned Barker on July 5, and she was released on $10,000 bond.
The 34-year-old woman has a lengthy criminal history, Blackburn said.
Assisting with the investigation were Deputies Kelly Hill and Bruce Burrell, DPS Trooper Chris Ward, Chief Deputy Butch Blackburn, and Sheriff Jimmy Thompson.
