A Forrest City woman, Krystal Wallace, was arrested on May 11 following an ongoing narcotics investigation, according to local authorities. Wallace, age 40, was taken into custody without incident and faces several felony charges related to controlled substances.
The case centers around a search warrant executed on April 2 at an apartment in Grobmyer Circle. Investigators seized more than two ounces of methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana, and glass bongs reportedly used for ingesting drugs. At the time of the search, Felicia Gray, age 55, was present at the residence and also faces multiple felony charges including possession with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. Both women are charged with offenses carrying enhanced penalties due to proximity near certain facilities.
A few days after the initial search warrant execution, Freddie Gray was also arrested without incident. He is charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver (greater than 10 grams but less than 200 grams), as well as related paraphernalia and proximity charges.
Wallace is scheduled for arraignment today when her bond will be set. The arrests highlight law enforcement efforts in St. Francis County to address drug-related crimes through coordinated investigations.
The St. Francis County Sheriff’s Office supports community enrichment through crime prevention initiatives and youth programs; it operates a modern Detention Center in Forrest City serving as a key operational hub; partners with organizations such as the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Association and Arkansas State Police; manages a facility capable of holding up to 144 inmates across its patrol and criminal investigation units; and features work release programs for eligible inmates assisting in roadway maintenance—all according to the official website.
