Sheridan Woman Arraigned on Multiple Drug Possession Charges

A Sheridan woman was arraigned in Fourth Judicial District Court Tuesday on a number of drug possession charges. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

On December 31, 2025, a special agent with the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation was contacted by a United States Postal Inspector about a suspicious package they had received that was being sent from Manteca, California to an address in Sheridan. A subsequent investigation led to the arrest of 31-year-old Brittany Popp.

At an arraignment hearing Tuesday, Popp pleaded guilty to two counts of felony possession of a controlled substance, one for allegedly possessing Cocaine, and one for allegedly possessing Hydrocodone. Popp also pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor charges, possession of a controlled substance – THC, and possession of a controlled substance – MDMA, more commonly known as Ecstasy.

District Court Judge Darci Phillips scheduled a three-day jury trial to begin June 15. A pretrial conference will take place May 19 at 9 am. Popp’s bond was continued under the same terms and conditions that were previously set in Sheridan County Circuit Court. If convicted on all four counts, Popp faces up to 16 years in prison and fines of up to $32,000.
