Betty L. Stone, 61, faces felony counts of maintaining a drug trafficking place, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, possession with intent to deliver a prescription drug, and two counts of possession of narcotic drugs.
Shawano County sheriff’s detectives executing the search warrant Thursday seized several items containing plant material suspected to be marijuana, prescription pills and drug paraphernalia, according to the criminal complaint.
The search warrant came a week after authorities had been at the same residence attempting to locate Perry D. Stone, 32, of Bowler, who was wanted on drug charges.

According to the complaint, Betty Stone told authorities she shares marijuana and pills with her friends but does not sell them.
Betty Stone could face a maximum six years in prison and a $10,000 fine if found guilty of possession with intent to deliver a prescription drug. All other felony counts carry a maximum 3 1/2 years in prison and $10,000 fine.
She was released Friday on a $1,000 signature bond and is due back in court for an adjourned initial appearance Nov. 9.
