Two Mountain View residents have been arrested and charged with trafficking meth and marijuana during a large-scale drug bust, according to Stone County Sheriff Lance Bonds.
A release from the sheriff’s department said deputies were searching for Jennifer Mannon, 38, on a warrant for parole absconding. On June 23, deputies located Mannon at a Pitard Loop residence and placed her under arrest. The release said three bags of methamphetamine were observed in the residence.
Mannon and her partner, Wesley R. Greenway, 46, listed as parolees/probationers with search waivers on file, were taken into custody for possession of meth, according to the release.
The release said after Chief Deputy Dammon McGilton arrived at the scene and a search warrant was obtained, just over a pound of meth was discovered in a safe.
Officers were back at the location on June 27 with consent to search and discovered an indoor marijuana growing operation in a building on the property, authorities said. Marijuana was also found growing outside on the property.
The release said approximately 869 grams of crystal methamphetamine (valued at approximately $82,000), 28 grams of marijuana, and about 5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms were seized (pictured above).
Mannon and Greenway have been charged with six drug-related violations including trafficking over 200 grams of meth, maintaining a drug premises, and possession of drug paraphernalia with the purpose to weigh or use crystal meth, according to the release.
“The drug investigation is ongoing and this department will continue to aggressively fight the war on drugs,” Bonds said in the release.
