— A Science Hill man was arrested Thursday for drug trafficking and bootlegging, according to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department.
James A. Stringer, 63, 205 Norwood Road, was arrested and charged with second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, a first offense, and the illegal sale of alcohol in a dry option territory.
Stringer was indicted by a Pulaski County Grand Jury after an investigation conducted by the Sheriff’s Department’s Criminal and Narcotics Division determined Stringer’s involvement in illegal drug trafficking in Pulaski County.
Stringer turned himself in to the Sheriff’s Department and posted a property bond in the Pulaski Circuit Clerk’s office, releasing him for a later court appearance.
In other activity:
• Angela M. Reno, 36, Monticello, was arrested and charged with theft by unlawful taking and second-degree unlawful transaction with a minor.
The Sheriff’s Department returned Reno to Pulaski County from Rockville Correctional Institute in Rockville, Ind., on a Pulaski Circuit Court warrant on indictment. She was lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center on a $10,000 cash or property bond.
