Cassy K. Knox was in court Monday, where she was formally charged with possession of methamphetamine, a Class I felony. Court Commissioner William Michel II ordered a $750 cash bail. A preliminary hearing is set for July 9.

According to a criminal complaint, Officer McDonough with the Kenosha Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit was conducting surveillance when he saw a man leave a suspected drug house on 24th Avenue and enter a Ford Expedition with suspended plates. After a brief stop at a nearby gas station, officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle. Knox was reportedly in the driver’s seat and appeared physically shaken.

Police say both Knox and her passenger made “furtive movements” as if trying to hide something. Knox consented to a vehicle search. Officers then located a crystal-like substance on the driver’s seat where she had been sitting. The substance tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed approximately 0.36 grams.

During Monday’s bail hearing, District Attorney Xavier Solis said Knox has multiple prior convictions in Texas, including a 2022 assault charge for causing bodily injury to a family member in Plano. He also cited convictions in Tarrant County for multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance and a DUI.

“She does have a prior criminal record,” Solis told the court. “We ask not to possess or consume any controlled substance without a valid prescription, without paraphernalia, and not to possess or consume any alcohol.”

      1. First off she made bad choices.

        1. Driving a car with Suspended Plates.
        Her car, not her car, she should know that.
        2. The passenger. The “Drug Dealer”.
        She didn’t know that ?? She chose to be around him ?
        3. She was at a known drug house.
        Like she didn’t know why she was “waiting” in the car for some guy to go in a house and come out a short time later ??

        Overall bad choices who she chooses to be around. Guilty by association.
        Not rocket science here.
        Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

          1. Jokes. Oh we’re all laughing here you POS. Evil people everywhere nowadays. Jehovah will judge on judgement day!

        1. Obviously you’ve never dealt with a family member on this drug. Don’t talk about shit you don’t know about! EVERYONE MAKES BAD DECISIONS. One bad decision with this can hook you asshole! So why don’t you STFU.

    2. Hey ass wipe she is there because her dad lives there. She was raised in Wisconsin. She’s there bx her mom has cancer. She was going for help . Tt her case manager the day before.
