Archived as originally published. Information reflects the date of this article.

A couple in Newton County went to jail late Wednesday night and have been charged with three crimes. It happened shortly before 11:00 on County Road 4101, just southeast of the Trout Creek Community. According to Sheriff Colton Havard, a deputy stopped to speak with James Ryan Smith who was walking on the road and he said Smith’s behavior led the deputy to think that he may have been involved in some type of criminal activity. Havard said the deputy discovered that Smith was in possession of methamphetamine, however, he had to wrestle Smith into custody. Shortly thereafter, the sheriff said Smith’s girlfriend, Angel Sutton, showed up and she was very drunk so she was also arrested. Smith was charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance and Resisting Arrest, while Sutton was charged with Public Intoxication.
