On August 22, 2023 at approximately 12:46 p.m. a Clay County Deputy made a traffic stop on a Chevrolet Blazer just outside of McDougal. There were two occupants in the vehicle. The deputy made contact with the driver 42-year-old Tammy D. Lutes of McDougal. The driver’s window would not roll down, so she opened the door of the vehicle and a baggy with a white substance was in plain view. The passenger of the vehicle was 43-year-old Danielle Householder of Paragould. The deputy got both individuals out of the vehicle and conducted a search of the vehicle. Both subjects were arrested for Possession of Controlled Substance Meth and Possession of Controlled Substance Marijuana. They were both transported to The Clay County Detention Center.

When I was around 12 years old, my grandpa raised pigs and soon my sister and I were the owners of two Chester Whites. A bit of trivia for my fellow Arkansans, according to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas, swine were first introduced into what is now our state by Spanish explorer Hernado deSoto in 1541.
