When officers went to the residence of a parolee to conduct a compliance check in mid-December last year, they found him passed out, with his head on the steering wheel and his foot on the brake.
Forty-one-year-old David Scott Albrecht entered a guilty plea to the charges against him in two open criminal cases during an appearance in Baxter County Circuit Court Monday (January 27).
He was sentenced to a six-year prison sentence
Albrecht lists his address along Johns Drive in Mountain Home. He has had a number of felony charges, many drug related, filed against him through the years.
He had a waiver on file allowing warrantless searches of his person and property.
The officers running the compliance check reported finding two used syringes on his person. In the residence, they found Fentanyl capsules, methamphetamine, four pills identified as Xanax, more used syringes and a marijuana grinder.
Albrecht’s parole shows revoked as of December 10 last year.
JUNE ARREST
In addition to the recent arrest, Albrecht was also arrested in mid-June after being pulled over for a traffic offense.
The Mountain Home K-9 officer was brought to the scene. The dog alerted on doors on the driver’s and passenger’s side of the vehicle.
Officers found methamphetamine. Albrecht was charged with possessing the drug.
His June drug case is shown as open on electronic court records with a next appearance in both cases set for January 6.
SUICIDE BY TOILET
During one of his stays in the Baxter County Detention Center, Albrecht was reported to have been unruly. He was alleged to have been screaming, shouting obscenities, banging on his cell door and refusing to follow commands from jail staff.
He was placed in a restraint chair several times during the day in an effort to control his erratic actions.
When a jailer went to the detox call to check on Albrecht, the inmate was found on his hands and knees with his head in the toilet.
He was asked what he was trying to do and replied he was “I am trying to drown myself, what’s it to you?”
As jail staff tried to get Albrecht away from the toilet and into a restraint chair, he is reported to have become combative and to have struck a jailer knocking the wind out of the officer.
