A Baxter County judge doesn’t buy the tall tale being told from one defendant in his court this past Monday.
In March, twenty-six-year-old Timothy Keplinger was arrested after being pulled over when a computer check revealed his license was suspended for DUI/drugs. Keplinger made his appearance in Baxter County Circuit Court on Monday, explaining that he was wearing someone else’s pants, containing someone else’s methamphetamine, at the time of his arrest.
Before being booked into the Baxter County Detention Center, Keplinger was given an opportunity to give up any contraband but he told sheriff’s deputies that he was clean. Sheriff’s deputies then discovered the methamphetamine in the pants that he was wearing at the time of his arrest.
Nevertheless, Keplinger agreed to “take the fall” on the charges and Judge John Putman ordered the case to remain on the current trial schedule.
