49-year-old Penny Ramsay now faces a felony charge of Possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia after her Monday arrest on a District Court Warrant.

According to Atchison County Attorney Jerry Kuckelman, Ramsey had a prior marijuana conviction in Missouri, which led the charge being upgraded.

The cooler had been reported stolen from the fairgrounds in Effingham. Grimmig faces a theft charge in connection with the incident.
