-An Eau Claire woman appeared in Clark County Court on Monday for theft and drug charges.34-year-old Stacey Stewart was charged with two counts of theft of moveable property, misdemeanors, and two counts of bail jumping, knowingly possessing meth waste, manufacturing amphetamine and purchasing pseudoephedrine for another with the intent of manufacturing meth, all felonies.
This came about when authorities were investigating 33-year-old Travis Hamm who?s been charged with stealing scrap metal and possessing meth waste as well. The investigation of Hamm led authorities to Stewart who was dating Hamm at the time.
During the investigation, authorities also found trash bags filled with items that are commonly used to make methamphetamine and, when police began to look at the records of local pharmacies, they found that Stewart and Hamm were buying excessive amounts of cold medicine, empty bottles and other items related to meth production.
Stewart did plead not guilty to the charges filed against her, but her attorney did state that they are in the process of working out a plea agreement. Her next court appearance in July, that's scheduled as a status conference, will likely be a plea hearing on the matter.
