Fleeing couple arrested on drug charges
A Washington state stripper and her boyfriend allegedly tried to flee Missoula police attempting to arrest them Wednesday on drug charges. But the woman ended up handcuffed on the ground while a police dog bit the man on the rear end.
Because Stevie Joe McPherson, 27, of Sedro-Woolley, Wash., has an extensive felony history, the Missoula County Attorney's Office requested a $150,000 bail Thursday. But Justice of the Peace Karen Orzech upped that to $250,000.
She set bail for his girlfriend, Courtland Dean Crabtree, 20, of Burlington, Wash., at $75,000.
Authorities were alerted to McPherson's presence by a confidential informant who told them that a drug dealer named "Skinny" was bringing MDMA, known on the street as Ecstasy, from Washington to sell in Missoula, according to the affidavits filed by Deputy Missoula County Attorney Andrew Paul.
The informant arranged a transaction at a Missoula motel, and members of the Missoula High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force, including the Missoula Police Department's K-9 officer, Ryker, fanned out around it.
McPherson and Crabtree arrived driving a Honda CRX and made the transaction in a motel room, the affidavit said. But when confronted with police on the way out, Crabtree shoved her shoulder into one officer in an attempt to run past him, while McPherson ran out a different door, according to the affidavit. After a warning, Ryker's handler, Missoula police Sgt. Nick Walters, sent the dog after him.
McPherson hit the dog when Ryker grabbed his thigh, it said.
"McPherson was still running and Ryker then jumped up and made contact with McPherson's left butt cheek," it said. "McPherson fell to the ground."
A search of the Honda turned up a Mason jar with 26.1 grams of marijuana, a small jar with 0.7 grams of marijuana, a glass bong, three capsules containing cut-up psilocybin mushrooms, a digital scale and a small jar containing hash oil, the affidavit said. McPherson told authorities there were 100 Ecstasy pills and 8 grams of powdered MDMA in the car, too. A second search turned up 100 purple pills with a Nike swoosh, 9.2 grams of MDMA powder, empty baggies and 100 empty capsules, the affidavit said.
Crabtree, who said she works at the Stateline club between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene and the Cabaret in Portland, Ore., both strip clubs, faces felony counts of criminal possession of dangerous drugs and criminal distribution of dangerous drugs. She also faces misdemeanor charges of possession and obstructing a peace officer.
McPherson faces felony charges of criminal distribution of dangerous drugs and criminal possession with intent to distribute, as well as a misdemeanor charge of obstructing a peace officer.

I've been to Cabaret before.
It's the kind of club you'd find chicks like this.
