Top mathematics high school students from throughout the region competed at the annual Arkansas Council for Teachers of Mathematics’ Southeast Arkansas Mathematics Contest hosted at the University of Arkansas at Monticello March 14. Pictured on the steps of the Science Center are the first, second and third place winners in each category, divided by row.
Christina Mix, 52, of Monticello, was found guilty of Possession of More Than 2 Grams of Methamphetamine and related charges and was sentenced to fifteen (15) years in the Arkansas Department of Correction following a jury trial in Drew County.
The charges arose from an October 30, 2025, traffic stop conducted by officers with the Monticello Police Department. During the stop, officers learned that Mix had an active felony warrant for her arrest. A search of the vehicle uncovered a container near Mix’s purse that held approximately 8.8 grams of methamphetamine, marijuana, and two glass pipes containing suspected drug residue.
Mix was also charged as a habitual offender based on more than two prior felony convictions. Under Arkansas law, habitual offenders are not eligible for probation or a suspended sentence. Mix’s prior criminal history includes a 2018 conviction for possession of methamphetamine for which she received probation. While on probation in 2019, she committed another methamphetamine offense, resulting in the revocation of her probation and a 24?month sentence to a Community Correction Center.
The University of Arkansas at Monticello football team will begin its spring practice schedule this afternoon. In total, the Boll Weevils will have 15 practices across March and April.
