FLEMINGTON, PA - On October 13, 2021 Agents from Pennsylvania State Parole conducted a home visit on Parolee Jennifer Nicole Smith, 34, at 205 Huston Street.  During a search of Smith's residence, State Parole Agents found suspected controlled substances, drug paraphernalia, and a bag containing assorted packaging material commonly used for packaging controlled substances.

State Parole Agents then stopped their search of the residence at which time they contacted Chief David Winkleman of the Pine Creek Township Police Department and the Clinton County Drug Task Force.  Chief Winkleman responded to the scene at and prepared a search warrant for the residence and contacted other Clinton County Drug Task Force Officers from Lock Haven City Police Department, the Pennsylvania State Police, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, and the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office to assist with the operation.

The search warrant for the residence was issued by Magisterial District Judge Kibler and the search warrant was executed.  Clinton County Drug Task Force Officers, Agents, and Troopers then searched the residence at which time approximately one (1) ounce of suspected synthetic cathinones, a significant sum of cash, a money counter, multiple digital scales, packaging material, and other drug paraphernalia was located during the search.   Synthetic cathinones, or "bath salts", as they are commonly referred to, carry a typical street value of approximately $3,000 per ounce when re-packaged and sold in smaller quantities.

Smith was then taken into custody on the State Parole detainer and transported to the Clinton County Correctional Facility.  Smith was arraigned on charges of Felony Possession With Intent To Deliver Controlled Substances and other drug offenses by Magisterial District Judge Keith Kibler on Thursday morning and scheduled for a preliminary hearing on October 19th. Smith is currently incarcerated at the Clinton County Correctional Facility.
