JONESBORO, Ark. — A Craighead County suspect was arrested after investigators said she sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant as part of an undercover operation by the Second Judicial District Drug Task Force.

Investigators said agents used a confidential source to arrange a buy with Braswell at her residence on County Road 114 in Craighead County. The source, equipped with recording equipment and $250 in Arkansas State Police buy money, met with Braswell and purchased approximately one ounce of suspected methamphetamine.

The operation occurred in August 2025.
