Boney, 21, 113 N. Washington Ave., Springfield. A court appearance was set for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 15, 2022.

According to court documents, Springfield Police were called Sept. 19, 2021 by a woman who said she got a ride from Marshall to Springfield from Boney. The woman said after she was dropped off, several of her pill bottles had been taken from her belongings.

In addition, the woman said she asked Boney about taking the pills and was told “it was for her gas and time to drive her to Springfield” and she would not return them.

Springfield Police Officer Robert Hillescheim told Boney he was investigating the theft of prescription medication and asked if she had them. Boney said she did and made arrangements to return them to the victim.

Hillescheim asked Boney to retrieve the medications from a residence. After a short time, Boney returned and handed him a small, pink plastic bag containing several small, blue pills and four capsules. He asked Boney if that was all the medications she took. She replied she didn’t know.

Hillescheim identified the substances in the bag at 20 small, blue pills called Clonazepam 1 mg, a Schedule 4 narcotic. Also in the bag were four orange capsules identified as Adderall XR 20 mg, a Schedule 4 narcotic.

After removing the pills from the bag, Hillescheim noticed a white powder residue inside. An NIK test showed the residue tested positive for methamphetamine.
