Cincy Radio: Lisa Wells Drug Case Gets Continued

Lisa Wells
A Miami County Ohio judge Monday, Aug. 8, told a defense lawyer and Cincinnati radio personality charged with drug possession following a stop on Interstate 75 on Jan. 25 near Piqua that she has “real concerns about whether you are taking this seriously.”

State troopers who stopped 37-year-old Lisa Wells, a defense lawyer and former legal analyst for WLW 700 AM,  reported seeing pills on the front seat of the vehicle after the stop. Also found in a search was a baggie of assorted pills in her purse, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol report.

According to the Journal-News, a not guilty plea on her behalf was made in June in Miami County Common Pleas Court on four felony counts of possession of drugs identified as amphetamine and Oxycodone.

A motion for intervention in lieu of conviction on the drug charges was filed in June. Wells was ordered to undergo a comprehensive drug and alcohol evaluation and provide Judge Jeannine Pratt with a detailed treatment plan.

Pratt said she was disappointed the case has been pending almost eight months and Wells again was using opioids.

Pratt said she had serious concerns about the ILC option but eventually gave Wells 30 more days to file a comprehensive evaluation and a detailed treatment plan.

The judge warned Wells that, if accepted into the program, she would be closely monitored including drug screenings and counseling, among other requirements.
