On June 20, 2013 Garland County Sheriff Department Investigators were contacted by Marine Patrol Deputy Scott McDaniel on a tip that a white Chevy Malibu was attempting to sell stolen property in the parking lot of Wonderland store on HWY 7 South. Deputy McDaniel also stated that based on information he received that some of the property would be at 205 North Shore Road.

Both Ragsdale and Honeycutt initially gave false names and after being identified it was determined that they had outstanding warrants of arrest. Prior to exiting the vehicle, Ware asked if there was anything illegal in the vehicle and York stated that "she had a pipe and some residue". At that time Honeycutt also handed a pipe over that she had in her possession to Ware.
Ware was given consent to search and during the search located a CD player with speakers, laptop computer, Black and Decker drill, knife, jewelry box, checks, external hard drive, gun cleaning brush, and DVDs. A credit card that had been reported stolen was located inside the purse of Honeycutt.
