Seneca Woman Back In Jail On Drug Charges

 

 A Seneca woman charged in a fatal crash for DWI by drugs is behind bars again.

 31-year-old Jessica Oliver was arrested Saturday after a search warrant was served at a home in Seneca. Oliver was charged with DWI involving the death of another earlier this year. The Missouri Highway Patrol says Oliver tested positive for meth and THC when she crossed the center line on Highway 43 just north of Seneca, in August of 2021 , killing 55-year-old Ilyas Qawishabazz. Charges were not filed until March.

 Also arrested by Newton County deputies and Seneca PD were Matthew Beamer, Roy Beamer, and Robert Pennington. They were charged with 1st-degree drug trafficking and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

 Oliver is on probation for felony charges out of Jasper County. Her probation violation hearing is scheduled for July.
