Harrisburg woman busted by feds on meth-related charges
US DISTRICT COURT—A Saline County woman has been indicted on federal meth-related charges in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois in Benton.
Sharon Sue Bauer, 43, of Harrisburg (also known as Sharon Sue Batterson and Sharon Sue Duvall), was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 8 on two meth-related counts. The grand jury charged that on April 12, 2012, in Saline County, Bauer possessed a List I chemical, pseudoephedrine, knowing that it would be used to manufacture meth; they also charged that she did the same on April 23.
Pseudoephedrine. The choice of loser methmakers everywhere.
The feds, in their ever-increasing effort to try and control meth, continue to come up with creative ways to charge a person with possession of p.e. In this instance, the counts are called “Possession of a Listed Chemical Knowing or Having Reasonable Cause to Believe it Would Be Used to Manufacture Methamphetamine”….a very long and involved way of stating she went to the drug store, got herself some cold meds with pseudoephedrine in em, and did so only for the purpose of meth making, by her or someone else.
Suzy lotsa last names.....
UPDATE: Just thought we’d add this little detail to the story; we looked at the paperwork filed in the case and noticed that this chick has been living off the taxpayer since 1992. Geesh. Didn’t know you could game the system that long.
Anyway, she was apprehended on May 10, according to court documents, and taken in for a hearing yesterday, May 14, in front of the federal judge, who ordered her detained but in a medical center for federal prisoners. Not sure what that’s about; we’ll likely find out by press time of the next print version, which won’t be out for another four weeks, as we’re on a long schedule this month in pursuit of growing the business. Check back, however, for any updates to this story.

Maybe she needed to earn a little money, by buying the pseudoephedrine, to supplement her SSI. I hope they arrest a lot more of the folks.
I’d guess she probably got about a half gram of meth out of the deal. Hope it was worth ~20 years to her.
…checking the “living off the taxpayer” link provided, it never ceases to amaze me that despite not having worked since 1992, and limited to around $830 a month in combined social security and food stamps, that this woman could (or would) be allowed to amass over $40 thousand in debt…sounds like the perfect storm to me…minimum requirements to qualify for credit, predatory interest rates, (perhaps a medical bill or two) and a financially irresponsible person always equals disaster….
…then again, perhaps she included her drug debts
I’m wondering. I saw that, and that’s IMMEDIATELY what I thought.
This woman has bilked the state and feds for years through welfare, foodstamps and SSI disability, or as i call it lazybility or crazybility. You gotta love the way SSI works, just refuse to work, or act nutty for a few years while on public aid then once you get accepted you get a big fat settlement check to party on and then a few extra perks such as foodstamps and a monthly check for life plus free medical thanks to the taxpayers of course.
hey she did have a job for 1 day….she was on the Jerry Springer show back in the early 90′s. The show was something like “My mother took my kids” can’t remember for sure but I did see the show. I have know her all my life and I don’t know of her ever working.
The Jerry Springer episode was also on the vhs tape called “Too hot for tv”.
No I don’t believe that was the episode. They weren’t the “main attraction” if you will. I can’t really remember tho.
