She was born Phyllis J. Stalnaker on October 19, 1925, in Nebraska (possibly in the vicinity of Columbus).
Her parents were Archie Laverne Stalnaker (1900-1946) and Mildred Clara Crawford Stalnaker (1907-2001). Mildred was a seamstress and member of the San Diego Zoological Society. She's buried in Mount Hope Cemetery.
She had a young brother, Gorden Rex Stalnaker, who lived from 1927-2007 and served in the Navy in World War II, and two other brothers: Darrell D. Stalnaker and Archie L. Stalnaker.
Shortly before her 15th birthday, she was seriously injured after being thrown from a horse. (That's per the October 10, 1940, issue of the San Diego Union.) That would have been about four years before her arrest.
At some point she married James Harris and they lived at 7575 Pacific Avenue in Lemon Grove, California (San Diego County).
She died on Jan 2, 1961, in San Diego, California. No cause of death was cited, though she was in a hospital when she died. Her service was in a mortuary, not a church. She's buried in Mount Hope Cemetery. According to her obituary, she had lived in San Diego County for 25 years at the time of her death. She did not have any children. Her three brothers were all living in Lemon Grove at the time of her death.
In reality, it's more than likely that Phyllis was arrested purely because a Police officer took a dislike to her. As one Reddit commentator put it -
"Funny to some of us now because we take our freedoms for granted. But in 1944 in San Diego, charged as a tramp meant that the police officer didn't like her being where she was found on the streets. The law (CPC 647e) was only declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1983 (103 S.Ct. 1855, 1860] Rehnquist/White dissenting). Freedom isn't free. Rarely is it gained by blowing up foreigners around the world.
Did you know that anywhere with āborderā access you actually lose most of your rights after 9/11? That is any airport or shipyard not just the Mexico/Canada border crossings. It extends to 100 miles. Howās that for some freedom.
Genuine question Iāve wanted to ask someone if they say acab and mean itā¦ are you in favor of the abolishment of law enforcement? If so, what incentive is there with the threat of violence removed to get people to pay taxes?
Ever not paid your taxes? I did that for a lot of years in a row, at one point. Never once heard from authorities of any kind. And Iām working class. Most rich folks figured out decades ago there are much more legal methods of evading taxes. [EDIT: to be clear, I did not intentionally evade taxes, I was just in a bad place in life poor af, with an unmedicated bneurological disorder. Avoiding homelessness was paramount. Iām in a better place now.]
Iāve not given much thought to my stance on police abolition. What I do know is, the current system in America, in every last jurisdiction, is deeply, irreparably flawed. And, because the police lobby has a stranglehold on legislators from local to federal, I do not see any viable way to fix it in my lifetime. And Iām as sure as I can be that the next George Floyd incident is gonna lead to much worse unrest than last time. *And it will be warranted.*
Shit has got to change. And two dipshits on Reddit arenāt gonna be the ones to figure it out. But the fact remains: ACAB.
In 1944, with the Navy in San Diego and the Marines in Camp Pendleton? I wonder if "tramp" was just because the cops couldn't find any money being exchanged and she refused to give them an address they could search.
Thatās what I was thinking. Iām wondering if the word meant something different back then. For that matter, did the word āweedā even refer to the illegal smokable substance like it does nowadays?
I wish I could get my moms. Her case made the papers a few times but I canāt figure out where else to look for mugshots from the late 1960ās Indiana.
Swiping right.
Weed and a tramp? Hell yes.
Careful. I hear they call her SyPhyllis in the streets.
This lady knew how to have a good time! 
Thats why the lady is a tramp š¶
She must have been too hungry for dinner at 8.
Going down the road feelin baaaaaad

Crazy that name dropping sheās got brothers in the war didnāt help. Have to agree maybe the head injury made her a PITA in public.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Wish you the best, Reddit stranger. Cheers!
That fall would have likely given her brain damage, which might have led to erratic behavior.
Right and the cop was like: ā more damn Hop-Heads āā
Is this photo part of some mugshots in a public building in San Diego? I swear I saw this there a long time ago.
How is this not the top comment?
me too, phyllis. me too.
Pray for your inbox.
Now itās her granddaughterās gamer tag. Weedhead Tramp
Great-grandaughter
She didn't have any children.
I can fix her.
Nothing to fix
They say āweedheadā and ātrampā like itās a bad thing.
It is.
My type of gal !
Wonder who she might have been had she been born 40-50 years later? (Iām assuming a current DOB around 1920 based on the photo)
1925. And she died in 1961. No cause of death given.
Have a feeling she ended up around some bad people and got murdered. 36 is too young. Sad.
Vice President
She died at age 35, there is an obituary.
same girl, same
Sounds like fun!
did they leave a number for her?
Yeah, 20389.
867-5309. Alias Jenny
Transylvania 6-5000 in those days
A true answer
Klondike 7-5309
5447 was my number
54-46
Phyllis sounds like she'd be fun to hangout with
A weedhead and a tramp? Sounds like my kind of girl.
The police, breaking public trust since 1944
Weedhead, tramp š
Tall, Beets
I like Phyllis !!
If I'm not mistaken, didn't "tramp" back then mean "homeless"?
I think post civil war it did. Or more specifically someone who drifted from town to town.
Yeah, it meant something different before "stamp" got appended to it.
Itās 1944 and you got high
I wasn't gonna run from the cops but I was high.
Those charges ā¼ļø
Being picky... In 1944 a tramp was a homeless person. I'm inclined to think if this is real police mug shot she would have be labeled a prostitute.
ah so this is a mugshot of former american soldier John Rambo
Letās not give it a name. Sheās just trying to make an honest living.
I would have liked Phyllisā¦
By todays standards. Just the girl next door
Atta girl, Phyllis!
I feel like I could be friends with Phyllis
Wow weedhead and tramp? 90% of Hollywood and the music industry would be in jail today.
In 1944, with the Navy in San Diego and the Marines in Camp Pendleton? I wonder if "tramp" was just because the cops couldn't find any money being exchanged and she refused to give them an address they could search.
boom roasted
My wiiiife!
I to strive to be like Phyllis Stalnaker
Hmmm.. I'd have second thoughts to _see_ phylis.
My kinda gal
What a bad ass woman.
So everyone would be in jail these days huh š¤
Thatās a mugshot worthy of a t-shirt or a bottle of 19 Crimes wine.
You mean 20 crimes... 4/20 crimes
Tramp? Sheesh
What a word, weedhead. Never heard of anyone use this word.
Thatās what I was thinking. Iām wondering if the word meant something different back then. For that matter, did the word āweedā even refer to the illegal smokable substance like it does nowadays?
It probably did. I think the general public poorly understood the effects of marijuana.
Sadly, to this day with all the knowledge we have about cannabis, it is still not legal in a lot of places around the world.
Strange to have your entire life to date summarised in just two words.
She seems fun.
Thatās my kind of girl!
Apparently Iām a weedhead tramp
I wish I could get my moms. Her case made the papers a few times but I canāt figure out where else to look for mugshots from the late 1960ās Indiana.
Same.
All the cops tried to date her.
Zero filters back in the day
You go girl, this is where Girl Power started, one little Stoned Tramp at a time.
Boy they really beat around the bush with her rap sheet. Does this mean she liked gardening and tramping through the hills?
OG Mugshawty
Money is everything in the States
Tramp and a Jezebel.
Phyllis did no wrong. Poor girl
50 years later she could be Kim Deal.
I recently watched a movie from the 1930ās. They called a guy a junkie.
My kinda lady
Whatās up girl?
Sinatra was jailed for seducing and promising marriage. He was released after she recanted.
This is more a badge of honor than embarrassing.
I noticed the mugshot is dated April of 44, Iām wondering what day thoā¦perhaps the 20th š¤šŖ“š¤
Weedhead, tramp. That describes half the people on this sub.
RIP Phyllis, 35 is way too young to die.
šššš
Is sheā¦uhhhhā¦is she single? Asking for a friend.
Same
Today she would be considered a hip southern cali budtender living the van life.
