23-year-old Maggie Von Beltz was seen tampering with evidence at her Walnut Street apartment residence on June 17th. While officers were in the process of taking Xavier Gatewood into custody, Beltz interfered with the arrest by reaching into Gatewood’s pockets and removing items. Officers then stopped belts by grabbing her hand and told her to release the item, but at that time, she flung the item towards the grass. Once more officers arrived on the scene, Beltz was detained, and they located the item she got from Gatewood’s pockets. The item appeared to be a small clear jar with an oily residue that had the smell of marijuana. Officers then noticed a yellow-looking wax substance with a strong odor of marijuana lying on the concrete. The wax was tested, and it came back positive for THC. When asked about the situation, Beltz told officers she reached into Gatewood’s pockets so that she could give them the THC wax. Beltz was then taken into custody for tampering with evidence.
Maggie Rae Von Beltz of Walnut St in Clarksville, TN, was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on June 17th, charged with tampering with or fabricating evidence. She is free on a $20,000 bond.
