Kevin Wade Beck of Mountain Home was arrested on various drug charges after the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office responded to a public disturbance call shortly after midnight, Sheriff John Montgomery said.
At approximately 12:09 a.m. Tuesday morning, Deputy Bryce Hinson arrived at the Citgo Station on Buzzard Roost Road in response to a man yelling at a woman and threatening her. The man was identified as 40-year-old Kevin Beck, Montgomery said in a news release announcing the arrest.
Hinson arrived at the gas station and made contact with Beck, who was getting into a pickup truck intending to leave, the news release states. Beck was detained and arrested by the deputy because of an outstanding body attachment for non-payment of child support. Beck was searched as part of the arrest, and Hinson reportedly found a black pouch on Beck’s person that contained a scale, spoon, three needles, clear baggies and small bags of various substances believed to be approximately 6.28 grams of methamphetamine and approximately 1.74 grams of cocaine.
Beck was charged with possession of a controlled substance with purpose of delivery, a felony; simple possession of a controlled substance, a felony; and two felony counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. He also faces the body attachment for non-payment of a child support.
Beck was booked into the Baxter County Detention Center in lieu of a $15,000 bond on the drug charges and is scheduled to appear in Baxter County Circuit Court on April 22. He is also being held on an outstanding warrant from Montgomery County, Missouri, for a probation violation.
