Charges have been filed against a White Sulphur Springs woman for the alleged “60 to 80” marijuana sales she described to police in an interview.
Jessica Flack was charged after an initial incident on June 2 in White Sulphur Springs. According to the criminal complaint, officers were dispatched to a residence where “two individuals … had been doing drug deals out of their window located on the side of their residence.”
The officers then took a statement – Flack stated she and another individual “had been selling marijuana for the past six months” and that “they had done approximately 60 to 80 hand-to-hand transactions in the last six months.”
Flack was charged with delivery of a controlled substance and conspiracy, which could result in a one to five year prison sentence along with a possible $15,000 fine and a two to 10 year sentence, respectively.
Another incident in July led Flack to be charged a second time, alongside another individual. Juanae Young and Flack were both charged with obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor offense that could result in a year of jail time and a $50 to $500 fee. According to the complaints filed against both, officers were attempting to serve felony warrants against both individuals when they resisted arrest.
“This officer was attempting to serve felony warrants on the defendant, Ms. Jessica Flack,” reads the complaint against Flack. “The defendant pulled away from this officer several times while trying to place her into handcuffs. This officer had to forcibly place the defendant into handcuffs.”
“This officer told [Young] several times to place his hands behind his back to where the defendant kept pulling away from this officer and backing away,” reads the complaint against Young. “This officer then had to forcibly place the defendant into handcuffs.”
Neither Flack or Young are currently detained at Southern Regional Jail in Beckley.
