CHUBBUCK — A 47-year-old woman is facing multiple felony charges, including injury to a child, after police say she was smoking methamphetamine in a Walmart parking lot with her 17-year-old son present in the vehicle.

Glenda Fisher, of Gresham, Oregon, was arrested Dec. 21 and charged with possession of a controlled substance and injury to child, both felonies, as well as misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, according to court records.

The incident unfolded when officers responded to the Walmart parking lot at 4240 Yellowstone Avenue in Chubbuck around 2 p.m. on Dec. 21 after receiving reports of people smoking drugs inside a dark gray Nissan with a child present in the vehicle, police said.

Upon arrival, Officers located a gray 2012 Nissan Versa bearing Oregon plates in the first row of vehicles on the south side of the parking lot and a woman in the parking lot flagged them down and confirmed that was the suspect’s vehicle, the report says.

When an officer knocked on the driver’s side window and identified himself, the woman — later identified as Fisher — stated she had not been using any drugs and was only in town for her sister’s funeral.

However, the officer observed a pink rubber cylinder-shaped object with a metal tube on one end, commonly known as a “tooter” that’s typically used for smoking meth, heroin or fentanyl, sitting on top of the steering wheel in plain sight, police said.

Fisher initially claimed the item wasn’t hers and that it was “clean” and had not been used but the officer observed that the metal end of the paraphernalia was discolored, likely from being heated during use, according to the report.

The male passenger was identified as Fisher’s 17-year-old son, the report says. Fisher initially claimed she wasn’t driving and was on the phone with the vehicle’s owner, who was inside Walmart but later admitted the owner was actually in jail and no one else was at the store with her and her son, police said.

When asked to step out of the vehicle, Fisher immediately reached for a cigarette — behavior officers recognized as a possible indicator someone believes they are about to be arrested and then during a pat-down search for weapons, the officer discovered multiple items of drug paraphernalia in Fisher’s pockets, including another “tooter” in her right leg pocket, the report says.

Fisher was placed in handcuffs and detained and a search of the vehicle revealed extensive evidence of drug activity, including a small ziplock bag containing white crystal-like substance in the driver’s door pocket, multiple scales with possible drug residue, three counterfeit $100 bills and one counterfeit $10 bill, six cell phones, a large roll of tin foil used to carry small amounts of drugs, a scale in the trunk containing white powder substance and multiple pipes and other paraphernalia, police said.

Field testing on the crystal-like substance found in the driver’s door showed presumptive positive for meth and weighed 0.75 grams, according to the report.

During a subsequent search before transport to jail, Fisher admitted she had a pipe hidden in her pants, stating without being asked that “it was the pipe she was using when she was in the car,” police said.

Fisher was transported to Bannock County Jail and charged with possession of meth, felony injury to a child for willfully placing her son in a situation endangering his health by smoking drugs in the vehicle where he was present and possession of drug paraphernalia, the report says.

Fisher appeared before 6th District Magistrate Judge David A Hooste for an arraignment hearing on Dec. 22 where her bond was set at $10,000.

Fisher waived her right to a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. No upcoming court hearings have yet been scheduled, according to court records. is scheduled to appear in court again on Sept. 17 for a preliminary hearing. Prosecutors will attempt to present sufficient evidence to elevate the case from magistrate to district court for trial.

The felony injury to a child charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine and the felony meth possession carries a maximum penalty of up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000.

Prosecutors are also seeking a persistent violator enhancement based on previous felony convictions, which could result in Fisher facing a potential sentence ranging from five years to life in prison.
