On Monday, UCSO Deputies received information about drug activity at Johnston’s home on Mitchek Lane in Elgin. Based on that information, the deputies applied for a search warrant for Johnston’s camper.
When deputies went inside, they found a ‘substantial’ amount of methamphetamine. Johnston had already been lodged in jail on charges of resisting arrest and harassment – offensive physical contact over a previous UCSO arrest. Deputies arrested her again, charging possession of methamphetamine.
