Ryan James Lindsey A man accused of being involved in the murder of 35-year-old Cody Stradford recently picked up new charges while an inmate in the Baxter County jail. In late March, 28-year-old Ryan Lindsey was observed by a jail staff member, “waving a ‘shank’ made from a broken piece of Plexiglas around in his cell.” Attempts to have Lindsey give up the homemade weapon voluntarily didn’t work and a special team was assembled to resolve the situation. WANTED A DEAL Lindsey is reported to have tried to bargain with the jailers, saying he would let them have the homemade knife if they would give him a can of “dipping tobacco.”
