	An affidavit states a glass pipe with burnt residue was located inside a glasses case. It is further alleged a large quanity of a white crystalline substance was located inside Smith&amp;#39;s leather bag. That later tested positive for methamphetamine. Also in the bag was a scale and four clear bags next to the scale with one of the bags containing a white crystalline substance. Scheduled II Adderall was also found in the vehicle.&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;nbsp;

	After testing and weighing the methamphetamine, it was determined Smith had 15.4 grams in her purse.&amp;nbsp;

			<title><![CDATA[Girl Scouts Gearing Up for Aug. 6 'Great Cookie Pairing']]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma will bring back its Great Cookie Pairing fundraiser next week, giving adults a chance to sample classic Girl Scout cookies alongside craft beverages while raising money to help local girls participate in Scouting.

	&amp;nbsp;

	The event will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Aug. 6 at Cooper and Mill in downtown Bartlesville. Tickets are $50 and will be available both online and at the door, according to Mandy Johnston of the Crosstimbers Service Unit, who discussed the fundraiser Friday on KWON&amp;#39;s Community Connection.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Johnston says proceeds will provide financial assistance for girls and troops, helping reduce barriers to participation in Girl Scouts.

	&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;quot;We don&amp;#39;t want financial concerns to be a barrier for our area girls to become active in Scouts,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Girl Scouts is an excellent organization that helps girls explore their interests in STEM, outdoors, entrepreneurship, camp a lot, build new friendships and really be comfortable in who they are.

	&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;quot;The money raised at the Great Cookie Pairing goes to financial assistance of all kinds for girls, for girls in our troops, girls that are interested in Scouting. So it&amp;#39;s a really fun way to raise money to support the girls in the community.&amp;quot;

	&amp;nbsp;

	The fundraiser features pairings of traditional Girl Scout cookies with craft beverages prepared by Cooper and Mill. Nonalcoholic options will also be available this year. The event includes charcuterie, a silent auction, trivia and other activities geared toward adults.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Johnston says the pairings often surprise first-time attendees.

	&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;quot;Cooper and Mill does a fantastic job of making good, interesting pairings that really kind of open things up for you,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s also fun to kind of have an adult event that can still support the organization that has become very dear to many of us.&amp;quot;

	&amp;nbsp;

	Johnston says sponsorship opportunities remain available at multiple levels, and community members can also purchase tickets through the Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma website or at the event.

	&amp;nbsp;

			<title><![CDATA[Independence, Kan. Man Sentenced for 2020 Double Murder]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	An Independence, Kansas man has been sentenced to more than 44 years in prison for the 2020 killings of two men whose bodies were found inside a crashed vehicle.

	&amp;nbsp;

	24-year-old James Gofourth was sentenced last week after entering a no contest plea in April to two counts of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery. A no contest plea allows a defendant to accept punishment without admitting guilt.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Prosecutors say Gofourth was 18 years old when he shot and killed 27-year-old Tyler Cook and 24-year-old Rodricus Dawson on Oct. 16, 2020.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Authorities say Cook and Dawson were found dead inside a vehicle after it crashed into an apartment building on North Pennsylvania Avenue in Independence. A third person was injured in the shooting.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Gofourth&amp;#39;s prison sentence of more than 44 years will begin after he completes sentences he is already serving for unrelated crimes committed in Labette and Elk counties.
