A Columbus woman is facing drug charges after an incident over the weekend. Judy Jackson, spokeswoman for the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department, says that deputies were called to a disturbance at a convenience store in the 10000 block of North U.S. 31 at 10:36 p.m. Friday. Dispatch told deputies that a woman was trying to steal from the store. After a clerk confronted the woman, identified as 22-year-old Dessirae Loreal Jonesike Streeter, she allegedly began destroying store displays.

When a deputy arrived, he reported seeing a woman matching Streeter’s description, standing in the lobby of a nearby fast-food restaurant. After making contact with Streeter, the deputy says that she agreed to return to the store with him. Jackson says that the deputy repeatedly asked Ms. Streeter to stay away from her purse before she finally sat the purse on the floor covering it with a piece of cloth.

When backup arrived, authorities say that K-9 Diesel was alerted to Streeter’s purse. They say that a search resulted in the discovery of a bag containing marijuana and glass pipes. In addition, deputies allegedly found two pills that Streeter identified as Xanax, a small baggie containing a white powdery substance, methamphetamine, an electronic cigarette that appeared to have a wax-like substance inside, a small glass jar with marijuana leaves on the sticker, a wax-like substance that had the odor of marijuana and a metal grinder.

Streeter was arrested on preliminary charges of Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Paraphernalia, Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of Marijuana. Authorities say that additional charges of Criminal Mischief and Disorderly Conduct are being forwarded to the Bartholomew County Prosecutor’s Office for consideration.

Streeter has since been released.
