Tammy Ontiveros
(KAIR)--A Nortonville woman is facing numerous charges related to a burglary in Effingham last week.
42-year-old Tammy Ontiveros was arrested Friday in connection with the crimes that investigators believe occurred Thursday.
The Atchison County Sheriff's Office says a window was broken out of the structure, located at 12678 U.S. Highway 159, and numerous items were placed by the door, apparently to be taken by thieves. That activity was noticed by a passerby, who confronted a suspicious person, now identified as Ontiveros.
The passerby also notified authorities, who located and arrested Ontiveros at 1020 Forest Avenue.
When she was being booked into the Atchison County Jail, authorities found what they say was a syringe, believed to contain methamphetamine, concealed on her person.
Ontiveros now faces charges including burglary, theft, criminal damage to property, possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia and trafficking contraband into a correctional facility.
The investigation is ongoing, with the Sheriff's Office continuing to search for additional suspects.
