Batesville Police officers Tuesday arrested Lisa Strong at her home at Westridge Apartments on Tubbs Road after alleged controlled substances were found there Tuesday morning.

Police were called to investigate a complaint of a missing cell phone and while there smelled and saw what they believed was marijuana, according to Batesville Assistant Police Chief Don Province.

After a search warrant was obtained, BPD’s special operations unit and Panola County’s Drug Task Force were called in along with BPD’s K-9 unit to search the apartment.

Officers discovered marijuana and a powdery substance but did not identify the powdery substance at the scene.

Strong is charged with possession of a controlled substance according to investigators who explained others may have charges pending further investigation.
