Both charges against Delores Lajuan Meador were filed with Peace Justice Al Fields. Crockett County Atty Robert Owens said they would be transferred to county court. Both are misdemeanor charges. The woman posted two $1,000 bonds and was released from custody late Monday. LCB agent Aubrey Wilhelm of San Angelo said he and Crockett County sheriff deputies Rex Fenton and Von Parker searched the home after obtaining a search warrant. Wilhelm said they found 4 1/2 cases of beer, five pints of vodka, seven pints of whiskey and three half-pints of whiskey.

Deputy Sheriff Glenn Willeford finished his search of a stolen car at the park last week. A member of the Stockman staff saw the commotion across the street and before the photographer could grab a camera and get there Deputy Willeford had his suspect searched, cuffed and in the official car. The suspect was parked by the park drinking a cold drink when the deputy spotted him. The car, a late model Grand Prix, had been reported stolen in Odessa two days before the arrest.
