Once in a while suspects do things that make officers scratch their heads in wonder. Flippin police officer Kenneth Looney had such an experience when he encountered 38-year-old Jessica Bernice Kropp on Sept. 24.

On that day, Looney was patrolling on Industrial Road at approximately 6:40 p.m. when he spotted a Dodge Neon pull away from a storage unit business and pulled the car over after noticing the registration was expired.

The driver, Kropp, failed to stop initially and wound her way through a nearby neighborhood before eventually stopping, according to an affidavit. When Looney asked for the woman's driver's license, she informed him it was suspended.

She also told the officer she did not have insurance and did not know where the registration for the vehicle was located, as she was borrowing the car. Looney confirmed with dispatch that Kropp's license was suspended.

He also discovered Kropp had five valid warrants out for her arrest, one each from Flippin, Mountain Home and Cotter, and two out of Marion County. She had four failure to appear warrants and one failure to pay fines warrant. Looney then moved to place Kropp under arrest, ordering her to step out of the car.

The following is a direct quote from the affidavit;

As I was detaining Jessica Kropp, I observed what appeared to be a bow in her hair. The bow appeared to be a small, zip-locked bag containing a white crystal-like substance of suspected methamphetamine.

The baggie had a small rubber band around the middle, giving it a bow shape and was attached to a bobby pin. The substance was affixed to the right side of her head, attached to her hair.

I said "Are you serious?" She said "What," I said "You have a bow in your hair made from a bag of meth. She said "(expletive deleted), I didn't know that was there, someone else put that there and I didn't know what it was."

The officer then asked Kropp if there was anything else illegal in the car. Kropp "begged" the officer not to tow the vehicle. Looney told her if she was honest with him, he would not have the vehicle towed, according to the affidavit.

Kropp told the officer she had illegal items in her purse. Upon searching the purse, Looney reported finding multiple bags of meth and drug paraphernalia, including a vape pen loaded with THC oil and a vape pen loaded with THC oil and meth.

Looney told the woman that since she had been cooperative, he would not have her vehicle towed and would only charge her with one count of drug paraphernalia for all the drug items she had.

Kropp was arrested on charges of possession of meth with the intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving while license suspended and no liability insurance. She was taken to the Marion County jail where she was held in lieu of a $23,210 bond.
