Narcotics detectives have arrested the wife of the Wendover police chief after she allegedly sold drugs at the club where she strips. Sylvia Tripp, 39, whose stage name is "Ecstasy," was booked Friday morning into the Elko County, Nev., jail on suspicion of two counts of drug distribution and one count of possessing medication without a prescription. She was released the same day after posting $15,000 bail. Formal charges have not been filed. Tripp is the wife of Wendover, Utah, police Chief Vaughn Tripp, who did not immediately return a phone message left Tuesday. Craig Ronzone, commander of Elko County's drug task force, said Sylvia Tripp was one of three people arrested early Friday in a drug sting. Sylvia Tripp works as a stripper at the club Southern X-Posure in West Wendover, Nev., and sold drugs there to undercover officers, Ronzone said. Sylvia Tripp allegedly sold prescription pain relievers including oxycodone and morphine tablets, Ronzone said. "She was a drugstore," Ronzone said. Detectives also found her in possession of pain relievers for which she did not have a prescription, Ronzone said. A bouncer at the club and a card dealer at a local casino were also arrested on suspicion of drug distribution. The task force is pursuing arrest warrants for other suspects in the case, Ronzone said, including more employees of Southern X-Posure. "They all knew about one another," Ronzone said. "Sylvia seemed to be able to arrange things and then produce things to other people, so she was kind of in the middle of it." Ronzone said Vaughn Tripp is not under investigation at this time.
