Three
persons were arrested last night in Russell County after sheriff’s department
officers executed a search warrant in the Eli community.
Sheriff
Derek Polston says the search warrant was executed at a residence just off highway
76 on Stanelle Road. The three individuals
arrested were charged with Trafficking in Methamphetamine and other Drug
related charges, all enhanced by a firearm. Arrested were 38 year old Angela Passmore; 35 year old Kenneth Dyer, and 30 year old
Rikkie Brassfield.
Dyer was
also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and Brassfield
was also charged with tampering with physical evidence.
Confiscated
during the search was Methamphetamine, over $7,000 in cash, marijuana and drug
paraphernalia.
All were
lodged in the Russell County Detention Center. Deputy Sheriff Kenny Perkins is the
investigating officer and more arrest could be forthcoming. Assisting at the scene were other members of
the sheriff’s department and State Trooper Billy Begley. Sheriff Polston reminds listeners that if
you suspect illegal drug activity in your neighborhood, you may contact the
