Two people face meth trafficking charges after sheriff’s officers raided their Cecil Hale Road home this past week.

The suspects, David Sandlin Jr., and Angela L. Howell, both 53, are charged with manufacture, possession or sale of methamphetamine. Sandlin will be in court tomorrow while Howell will appear next Thursday.

Lawmen executed a search warrant on their residence and found the illegal narcotics along with drug paraphernalia.

“Mr. Sandlin was found in possession of 7.4 grams of meth, hypodermic needles and scales,” said Sheriff Patrick Ray. “He admitted they were for illegal drug use.”
Meanwhile Howell was charged with possessing 17.3 grams of meth contained in three bags.

“She admitted to selling,” the sheriff noted.

Willie Ray Murphy, 36, is charged with resisting stop and will be arraigned June 7. Deputies went to Toad Road to investigate a call of shots being fired. When they arrived, Murphy emerged from a camper on the property.

When told to show his hands he asked the officer why. He then ran from the scene. He was later caught and charged.

Joshua Joel Bain, 32, was charged with domestic assault and failure to appear and will face a June 7 arraignment. He was charged after officers checked out a domestic call and found a man at the residence bleeding from an assault allegedly committed by Bain.

Michael Chad Owens, 33, was cited for simple possession of meth. He was cited when officers went to a residence on Earl Avenue and smelled marijuana. A search found a small container of meth which Owens admitted was his.
