Last Week Sheriff Chris Degase received information on a subject that had a warrant out of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. After being an absconder for almost a year, 27 year old Laura Bengston, of Ava, was apprehended at a residence in the Goodhope area, after Sheriff Degase and deputies surrounded the house. Bengston was found inside with two other subjects, 34 year old Dustin Conrad, and 43 year old Betty Tuthill. Methamphetamines and dab, which contains an extremely high concentration of THC, were also seized inside the residence. Additional charges are pending.
