Steve Williadsen, a bondsman, had made five unsuccessful attempts to track down bail jumper Paige Streweler-Hall in Colorado. However, he finally succeeded in apprehending her in Boulder last Thursday. Williadsen brought her back to Natrona County to face charges.
Last week in federal court, Cole, a native of Casper, pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute fentanyl and methamphetamine.
In Natrona County District Court, Streweler-Hall faced charges of drug conspiracy and aggravated eluding. However, it’s important to note that she is presumed innocent unless proven or pleading guilty. Although she posted bond, she failed to appear at her district court arraignment, which resulted in Willadsen having to pay the forfeiture.
Last month, there were reports of Streweler-Hall being missing. However, her family members confirmed later that she was safe.
According to Willadsen, Streweler-Hall was reportedly located in a Boulder apartment, as he revealed to Oil City News on Thursday. However, she was eventually transported and delivered to the Natrona County Detention Center at approximately 4:15 a.m. on Friday, based on reliable information.
During her time in Casper last January, Streweler-Hall was a fugitive with outstanding charges in Colorado. She recently appeared in circuit court on an extradition warrant and was given a $50,000 cash-only bond.
During the hearing, she informed the judge that she had been acquiring cleaning jobs and had also submitted applications to various business schools through online platforms.
“I wasn’t just running amok,” she clarified. Her intention was to secure probation in the Natrona County case before addressing the charges in Colorado.
She expressed her desire to move away from this lifestyle by saying, “I definitely don’t want this lifestyle anymore.”
According to an affidavit by an agent, a source claimed that Cole had transported 12,000 fentanyl pills and 3.5 pounds of meth from Colorado to Casper around Christmas last year. The information was reportedly provided to agents from the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigations.
Cole and William Tanner Jackson were both mentioned in the federal indictment.
