Investigators said they found suspected methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms and messages about alleged drug sales.
PARAGOULD, Ark. — A Greene County husband and wife face eight felony charges combined after investigators said a parole search uncovered approximately 13.5 grams of suspected methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, scales and messages about alleged drug sales.
Mark Robertson and Jessica Robertson each face possession of methamphetamine with purpose to deliver, a Class A felony; possession of a Schedule I or II controlled substance with purpose to deliver, a Class B felony; unlawful use of a communication device, a Class C felony; and possession of drug paraphernalia with a prior conviction, a Class D felony.
According to separate probable cause affidavits, investigators conducted a parole search Wednesday at Mark Robertson’s residence.
Investigators said they found four clear baggies containing approximately 13.5 grams of suspected methamphetamine, a glass tray holding two lines of white crystals and two electronic scales with suspected methamphetamine residue.
The search also allegedly uncovered a clear baggie containing approximately 5 grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms and two water bongs commonly used to smoke methamphetamine.
Investigators searched Mark Robertson’s cellphone and said they found messages concerning drug sales, including one stating, “130 for a quarter.”
Mark and Jessica Robertson shared a bedroom, according to the affidavit filed in Jessica Robertson’s case. Investigators said messages between the couple included “Can you come get this bread before I get caught,” “Grab the shrooms” and “Im leaving the big piece here.”
Investigators alleged the final two messages referred to the psilocybin mushrooms found during the search.
District Judge Curtis Hitt found probable cause and set bond at $100,000 cash or surety for each defendant. If released, both must wear ankle monitors and are prohibited from possessing weapons.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
