Falls City police drug investigation yields misdemeanor conviction

FALLS CITY - Candace Chandler, 24, of Salem was sentenced to 18 months probation for attempted possession in June of 2021.

Chandler was arrested after someone called Falls City police to report a drug deal at her Eastview Apartment. Police say they were given permission to search the apartment and observed Chandler attempting to hide meth in a shoe.

Chandler is also scheduled for pretrial on Richardson County charges of conspiracy and delivery that stemmed from a Verdon search in August of 2021.

In the conspiracy case, prosecutors allege that Chandler responded to a text message asking if she knew a buyer for $80 worth of methamphetamine on Aug. 15, 2021, and responded to a text message days later saying she had $120 to buy.
