Spencer was arrested along with 32-year-old Jennifer Goins and Thomas Berry during a January 21st traffic stop in Blanket after a tip was given to Brown County Sheriff's Office informing that the trio was on their way to Stephenville to purchase drugs from a major supplier.  During the stop, BCSO deputies found 14 grams of methamphetamine and a half pound of marijuana in the pickup truck the three were traveling in, according to law enforcement reports.
