A woman is facing several charges including drug offenses after recent encounters with county law enforcement officers.
27 year old Keely Breanna Jacobs of Blue Springs Road, Smithville is charged with bringing contraband into a penal institution; possession of methamphetamine with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver (2 counts); identity theft (3 counts); driving on a revoked or suspended license (3 counts); possession of a controlled substance with intent to manufacture, sell, or deliver; criminal impersonation; prescription drug fraud; and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond for Jacobs totals $151,500 and her court date is September 26.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on August 27 a deputy pulled over a 2001 Ford F150 driven by Jacobs. During the traffic stop Jacobs identified herself as Leah Jacobs and gave a false date of her birth. Not knowing, the officer issued her citations in the name of Leah Jacobs. Later, a detective reviewed the officer’s body camera from the traffic stop and determined that the woman was actually Keely Jacobs. Officers learned that Jacobs’ driver license was suspended on August 15, 2023 in Cannon County for failure to appear.
Jacobs was pulled over again by a separate officer August 31 on Evins Mill Road when he saw a 2001 Ford F150 leave its lane of travel several times. Jacobs, the driver, gave her name as Leah Jacobs and a birth date which was not her own. The officer issued her citations in the name of Leah Jacobs but during the investigation, a detective reviewed this officer’s body cam from this traffic stop and found that Leah Jacobs was actually Keely Jacobs.
Four days later Jacobs was caught for the same offense. Sheriff Ray said that on September 4 a different deputy was patrolling Blue Springs Road when he spotted a 2001 Ford F150 leave its lane of travel several times. He pulled it over and spoke with the driver, Jacobs who again said she was Leah Jacobs. A background check on the license revealed it to be valid but later the deputy learned from a detective that her real name was Keely Jacobs and the license under that name came back suspended.
Five days after that incident, on September 9 a deputy went to Jacobs’ residence on Blue Springs Road to serve a warrant on her. Jacobs again stated that she was Leah Jacobs but after observing a picture of Jacobs with the warrant and knowing that she was not Leah Jacobs, the officer placed Keely under arrest. While placing Jacobs in custody on outstanding warrants, the officer noticed in plain view several items of drug paraphernalia. After advising Jacobs of her Miranda rights, she gave consent for him to search the residence and he found a small baggie containing a single white pill believed to be Buprenorphine along with three scales bearing a crystal-like residue, several pipes with residue, and several baggies. She admitted to having been selling narcotics. Also found during the search were two baggies with a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine. One of the baggies weighed 7.78 grams and the other 10.59 grams (18.37 grams total). The search also turned up several pill bottles containing different types of pills in each with either the labels torn off or different names on the bottles.
At the jail on September 12, a female correctional officer conducted a strip search of Jacobs and found in the waistband of her shorts a baggie that held a crystal-like substance believed to be methamphetamine which weighed six grams.
