Jamie Lee Chris Schammel, 38, of Austin was charged on Monday in Mower County District Court with felony first-degree sales of 17 grams or more of methamphetamine.

According to the court complaint, narcotics detectives met with a confidential reliable informant (CRI) on Sept. 6 to see about buying an ounce of methamphetamine from Schammel. The CRI was searched and provided with buy money and an audio transmitter.

The police monitored the CRI when he met Schammel at a location in Austin, the complaint states.

Schammel handed the CRI a package in exchange for the money. The CRI then met with the police at a predetermined location and surrendered 28.24 grams of methamphetamine, which was then sent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension laboratory for analysis.

A review of Schammel’s criminal history shows prior convictions for disorderly conduct, theft, tampering with a motor vehicle, attempted state lottery fraud, terroristic threats, domestic assault, drug possession and third-degree murder (controlled substance, aiding and abetting).

Schammel will appear in court again on Oct. 1.
