LITTLE ROCK, AR - A woman charged with first degree murder for a shooting near Quitman last year was arrested in Saline County on drug charges Thursday.

Jamie Lynn Leach, 20, is charged with possession of a controlled substance (meth) with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Saline County jail’s website. She was booked into the jail at 6:33pm on Valentine’s Day.

Leach is also accused of killing her boyfriend on August 20th, 2012. Cody Bradley, 24, was found shot to death in his bathtub. Leach was found later that morning in a field behind Eastside Elementary in Greenbrier.

According to the docket report, Leach was out on a $50,000 cash bond. Prosecuting Attorney Cody Hiland says Leach will most likely be back in court on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday) where her bond will be revoked.

I've known this girl for a while. Drug charges, and using drugs is typical her! Murdering a man i've seen her with I couldn't believe! I always knew she was crazy and devious but I didn't think she would have got this bad! Poor girl, I love you and I'm praying for you! You we're once a close friend of mine!

Sam Crow, correct me if I'm wrong, but why would the Saline County Prosecuting Attorney's office have anything to do with a murder charge out of QUITMAN? The article only stated she was arrested in Saline County. You sir, need to read the article again.

I mean no disrespect to you fellow VETS and disabled but your bickering back and forth has nothing to do with this story. I realize 1 person's post took flight but lets come back now. This Meth head POS for a woman is right where she needs to be. I hope the other women locked up with her get to give her a test of medicine.

Jcarpe my point exactly! Arkansasyankee I agree with your post. Even if it is isolated those involved should be held accountable even if it was a select few. On the same note the majority of LE officers are honest and hard working and do a tough job. To categorize them as all crooks is just preposterous. I realize we have a lot of flaws in our system and that it does need reform and reform is coming. Sam actually I was an 11B20 (Infantry Sergeant) and was injured in Baghdad Iraq in 2008 and underwent surgery at the Ibn Sina Hospital in Baghdad before being medi-vaced out to Landstuhl Germany and then Walter Reed Army Medical Center for several months. So if you are going to question my service to my county, I would like to know what you have contributed to it. I would do it all over again in a heart beat! As for your comment on military police and on military drawing a hire disability I find that almost as funny as the commenst on rich people never being victims of crimes. VA disability is based on a percentage from 0% up to 100% based on severity of serviced connected disability. Are you mad that someone who lost a leg or an arm in combat gets more disability then someone like you who can't afford a new keyboard? It has become clear from your posts you base a majority of your opinion on emotions not facts. I would place a high wager that you have less then a high school diploma and have never left the county you were born in. Glad to know my tax money goes to such a deserving person.

Sam Crow I have read your comments and it is my personal opinion that you are like a lot of people who claim disability and that is you are spending too much time feeling sorry for yourself.Quit whining and do something productive for a change.

sam and mike; sam, I'm familiar with your situation, and I'm familiar with your disability. I respect your opinion; but please, don't put all of us disabled vets in with one person! Friday was National Salute To Veterans Patients; many are in VA hospitals, their last stop before the grave. So please have a little respect. mike12; sam's condition is well known to those of us that are regulars. I have an elderly father and step-mother - my dad can't even see to type, and step-mom has serious problems with arthritis. So cut sam some slack there dude! He has had problems with the county as far as medical issues with a loved one that was locked up. As far as the "boys on the tracks"; yes, more than likely a cover up by people "high up". Take Janie Ward for example; she was murdered a year before I moved back to AR; but I kept up with the case thanks to an editorialist for the papers. Also the documentary. I sincerely believe that the cover up in her murder went all the way to the top of the ASP and the governor's office. You agree this happens, but is "isolated". Who cares? It should not be "isolated"; everyone should be held accountable regardless of who's daddy is whatever. The regulars on here know me as one that supports our LEO's; but the crooked one's, and the crooked judges, DA's, ASP Special Investigators, et al - they can rot and burn for eternity! Yes, they got away with it down here, would like to see the look on their faces come Judgment Day! Ya'll be nice now.

surprise, surprise you are on disability.... Guess what fellow citizen; I am a disabled veteran with a VA compensation rate over 30% but I get up and go to work everyday. Therefore I am not partial to people who claim poverty because their disability check doesn't pay for them to have luxuries. Still your inability to type well doesn't really explain the run on sentences or the unsupported generalizations. "Boys on the Track" happened 25 years ago and from my understanding went well above the local PA office or LE agencies. I don't deny that their is government corruption, but it is isolated to very few individuals. I do argue that it is no greater in Saline County then anywhere else. Until you can provide me statistical data as opposed to referencing one isolated event I will hold firm on my opinion . I have called the police before in Benton and the response time was about 5 minutes not 30 minutes and they were professional and courteous. So you're arguing that rich people never get robbed, have their houses broken into or are held at gun point? That is hilarious as most home invasions in the USA occur in upper-middle class neighborhoods during the hours of 9am-3pm (when us working suckers are out being productive) SOURCE: FBI Crime Information Website. Actually, I don't bury my head in the sand I am more aware of the crime in the state then the general public due to my position in the community (no I am not in LE). I also carry my weapon when I go out because I understand that while most people are inherently good there are a few bad apples out there.
