MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Chelsea O’Donnell pleaded guilty Thursday to six charges, including three drug-related counts, and was placed on probation for three years.
O’Donnell, 27, pleaded guilty to maintaining a drug trafficking place, two counts of possession of methamphetamine, disorderly conduct, resisting, and bail jumping. Other counts were dismissed.
Judge James Morrison imposed and stayed prison and jail sentences, which would only be served if there are probation violations, court records show.
O’Donnell, the daughter of comedian Rosie O’Donnell, may not go into bars or taverns, must follow conditions set by the drug treatment court, and cannot possess any opiate-based medications, court records show.
In the Marinette County case, O’Donnell called police on Sept. 10, and dispatch could hear people arguing.
Police arrived. During a search of her, police located a meth pipe with drug residue. She also turned over pills and meth hidden in her bra. Police searched the home.
“The inside of the house was disgusting; throughout the house I saw rotten food, dirty moldy dishes, milk that stunk so bad it almost made me puke, dirty diapers, used female hygiene products, unclean underwear with physics [sic: feces] and blood stains, and used razor blades on the floor. The living conditions in the house were horrible,” the complaint states. “I then went into the child’s room that was off of the kitchen. On a nightstand, I observed a blue box; and in that box, I observed several hypodermic needles. Some of the needles were used and had dried blood in them… Under a baby crib, I located a black and silver digital scale, some used gem bags with white residue, and a sharps container that had more used and unused hypodermic needles.”
In Oconto County, she faces five charges, including possession of methamphetamine, based on evidence from an Oct. 11 traffic stop. An Feb. 5 plea hearing is scheduled in that case.
“Chelsea reached into her right front pants pocket as we were attempting to grab her, and threw what we found later to be a meth pipe towards the Oconto River. Chelsea attempted to throw it over the fence and into the river, but failed. The meth pipe hit the fence and bounced back on the sidewalk, breaking,” the complaint states.
