OCONTO (WTAQ-WLUK) – Chelsea O’Donnell was convicted of drug possession and other counts in a second county Wednesday. Meanwhile, she has filed a petition to change her last name.
O’Donnell, 27, pleaded no contest to methamphetamine possession, bail jumping, and obstruction. Two counts were dismissed. Sentencing is scheduled for March 31, court records show.
The Oconto County conviction comes a week after she was convicted in Marinette County of six counts, including three drug-related counts, and was placed on probation for three years.
Separately, O’Donnell – the adopted daughter of comedian Rosie O’Donnell – filed a petition in Marinette County to change her last name to “Nevens.” The reason cited is “adoption/family name.” A March 5 hearing is scheduled for that matter.
In the Marinette County drug 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 originally faced five counts, including possession of methamphetamine, based on evidence from an Oct. 11 traffic stop.
“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.
