Another arrest has been made stemming from the recent drug bust at Ransey Farms.
According to the arrest report, on June 4 Nicole Christine Audas, 40, of Mount Ayr was arrested in Polk County on the following Ringgold County arrest warrants:

Audas was transported to the Ringgold County Jail and held without bond.
Over many months, the Ringgold County Sheriff’s Office, in cooperation with other agencies, had been investigating possible criminal activity on four properties known locally as “Ramsey Farms.”
The properties were suspected as a “drug hub” and hangout for individuals unlawfully using and selling controlled substances.
RCSO had compiled a list of individuals and criminal activity supporting the above claims, resulting in an execution of a search warrant at “Ramsey Farms.”
Following this investigation, arrest warrants were issued for the Audas and others.
Any potential criminal charges identified above are merely allegations and any defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
