Brandi N. Williamson, 43, of De Soto was recently arrested on drug charges. Last year, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputies allegedly found illegal substances while conducting an inventory search of her towed vehicle, court documents show.
Williamson was arrested on May 5, and as of Tuesday, May 12, she was being held on a $2,500 bond at the Jefferson County Jail in Hillsboro, according to court and jail records.
On April 15, Williamson was charged with felony counts of delivery of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, court documents said.
According to the case’s probable-cause statement, deputies on June 6, 2025, were searching a vehicle Williamson had been driving when they found a purse and a zipper pouch in the center console.
The purse allegedly had two green-and-yellow capsules and a glass pipe with a white substance inside it. The pouch allegedly also had a pipe with a white substance inside it and a bag containing a white crystal-like substance, the report said.
Williamson allegedly told the deputies that the purse belonged to her, according to the report.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol tested the substances in the purse and identified them to be methamphetamine, the report said.
