Nationwide Drug Arrests
Nationwide Methamphetamine Investigations Lead to Multiple Arrests and Charges Across the United States
Anonymous
Authorities in several U.S. communities reported arrests and charges in separate methamphetamine investigations. In Tulsa, a woman faces child-neglect charges after her newborn’s umbilical cord tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine; other cases involved alleged meth distribution in Wisconsin and Mississippi, and arrests after searches or traffic stops in Michigan and North Carolina. Officers also reported finding drug paraphernalia and, in Michigan, a stolen vehicle. The allegations include possession with intent to distribute, trafficking and sales near schools or churches, and the cases remain subject to court proceedings.
Key Points

In the Wisconsin case, Lori L. Chavez, 64, was charged with a felony after officers found 0.7 grams of methamphetamine, digital scales and baggies at her apartment. The complaint says Chavez admitted using meth most days and described people coming to her residence; she was released on a $5,000 signature bond.

In Branch County, Michigan, the two people arrested were a 41-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man. Investigators said they planned to seek additional arrest warrants for other suspected participants in the investigation.

In Lee County, North Carolina, Angel Lee Stone faced several charges, including methamphetamine trafficking by transportation and possession, while passenger Patrick Lee Stone was found with a smaller amount. Their secured bonds were set at $250,000 and $10,000, respectively, after both were initially held without bond.

In Mississippi, Jason Ledlow, 53, was also charged with possessing ecstasy with intent to distribute near a church or school, in addition to methamphetamine-related charges. The case is to be presented to the next available grand jury.
