Fugitives charged and served when authorities find them with an ounce of meth

25-year-old Tamera Dennis and 30-year-old Jacob Rittenhouse were charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia after authorities located approximately 28.4 grams of meth, baggies, and digital scales in their vehicle.

On November 24th, Drug Task Force Agent Charles Bryant and other agents from the 19th Judicial Drug Task Force spotted Jacob Rittenhouse and Tamera Dennis as they were pulling into the parking lot of a Dollar General at 1481 Tiny Town Road in a maroon Ford Fusion. Agents previously knew that Tamera and Jacob had several active warrants for their arrest. After a few minutes, both parties exited the store and agents attempted to take them into custody.

Jacob tried to flee the scene but was taken into custody near the front of the Dollar General. Tamera was taken into custody without incident. During a search of Jacob’s person, agents located around 4 grams of suspected methamphetamine in his pocket. Agents then searched the Ford Fusion and located approximately 28.4 grams of suspected methamphetamine in the glove box.

A backpack on the floorboard was found to contain digital scales and empty plastic baggies. Neither Jacob nor Tamera claimed ownership. The substances tested positive for methamphetamine.

Tamera Dennis was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent and unlawful drug paraphernalia. She is currently jailed in lieu of a $152,000 bond

Jacob Rittenhouse was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent, unlawful drug paraphernalia, and evading arrest. He is currently jailed in lieu of a $106,000 bond.
