On 1/6/15, at approximately 9:37 AM, officers with the Benton Police Department responded to 5945 Pierce Manse Loop on report of subjects trespassing at the residence. Upon their arrival, officers made contact with three subjects in a car trying to leave the area.
Upon initial contact with them, a female occupant gave the officer identification that didn’t match the picture or personal information on it. She then she proceeded to run from the vehicle, but the officer caught her a short distance from the vehicle. She was later identified as Tricia Huie (38 YOA) of Bryant and the other suspect as Corey Vadnais (25 YOA) of Benton. A third occupant wasn’t charged and was released at the scene.
A system check of Huie and Vadnais determined that both of them had active warrants for their arrest out of the Saline County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). Additionally, items believed to belong to Vadnais were located that are commonly used to ingest illegal narcotics.
Huie was charged with Obstruction of a Governmental Operation, Fleeing on Foot, Theft of Lost or Mislaid Property (drivers’ license), Unlawful Use of a License, Driving While Suspended, and two Felony warrants out of the SCSO. Vadnais was charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and one warrant out of the SCSO.
Both were transported to the Saline County Detention Facility for processing without incident. This is an on-going investigation and additional charges could be possible.
