Dwight David Rollings
A man admitted to felony supplying a controlled substance in connection with a half-dozen methamphetamine sales.
Dwight David Rollings, 41, faces up to a combined nine years in prison and a $15,000 fine after he entered guilty pleas to the drug charge and felony failure to appear.
According to court documents, Rollings failed to appear in East Fork Justice Court on July 29, 2024, after being released on his own recognizance after the May 2024 drug sales. The felony was charged after he failed to turn himself in within 30 days of the East Fork court date.
Rollings has been in custody since Feb. 3 after being extradited back to Douglas County. He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 20.
• A San Francisco couple who were booked on Oct. 24, 2024, on possession charges were granted probation and diversion Monday.
When they were taken into custody, Bradley Howard Mears and Shemeca Renee Cottle were pulled over in Stateline with a broken head light and 9 grams of methamphetamine was discovered in the vehicle.
On Monday Mears was sentenced to a suspended 12-30 months in prison and Cottle was granted diversion and ordered to follow the plan she is already on through San Francisco Unified Family Court. A review hearing for Cottle was scheduled for May 5.

Gregory Victor Gauthier II and Bridget Lee McClain told Judge Tod Young that they’d recently used methamphetamine just before their February arraignment, prompting them to order testing before they were sentenced on Tuesday.
Both came back negative for methamphetamine, though the judge said he’d be surprised if Gauthier stopped using.
McClain said the judge scared the pants off her and that she would never use again.
