WALLACE — On Tuesday, a Shoshone County jury returned a guilty verdict against Silver Valley resident Jessica Bauer for possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, deliberating just 30 minutes after a daylong trial. 

Bauer, 37, was arrested following a September 2025 incident in Smelterville, where, during a routine check, an Idaho Department of Correction parole officer discovered two baggies containing methamphetamine inside a motorhome where Bauer was staying. After locating the suspected drugs, IDOC requested assistance from the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office to continue the investigation.
