Carthage woman indicted for meth, heroin, cocaine trafficking


Three weeks after she was given a suspended sentence in Jasper County Circuit Court on a felony drug trafficking charge, a federal grand jury indicted a Carthage woman on three counts of the same crime, all of which allegedly took place during the time she was awaiting trial on the Jasper County charge.

According to the indictment, which was unsealed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Lateisha K. Rodriguez, 24, distributed methamphetamine on January 30, 2019, heroin on February 7, 2019 and cocaine on July 25, 2019.

Earlier this month, Jasper County Circuit Court Judge Dean Dankelson, following the plea agreement submitted by the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office, suspended Rodriguez' sentence for selling a controlled substance on December 10, 2018, and placed her on supervised probation for five years.
