Bollinger County sheriff’s deputies arrested a Marble Hill, Missouri, woman Wednesday suspected of selling pounds of methamphetamine since July, deputies said.

The Bollinger County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Ronnee Dianna Danner, 40, with first-degree trafficking and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

Deputies set up a drug buy for seven grams of methamphetamine using a confidential informant who had worked for Danner, according to a probable-cause statement filed in the case by deputy Darren Bullard.

The informant viewed the drugs and left the residence in Marble Hill, initiating the arrest and search by deputies, Bullard wrote.

Deputies recovered 41.8 grams of methamphetamine from Danner and less than a gram from her son Nathaniel Burton, 19, of Marble Hill, according to the statement.

The confidential informant told deputies Danner had been selling two to three ounces of methamphetamine every few days for at least six months, Bullard wrote.
