Three arrested after theft operation, meth lab uncovered in Pawnee County

PAWNEE COUNTY, Okla. — Three people were arrested last month after a theft operation and a meth lab was uncovered in Pawnee County, the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office announced.

Edward Dilley, Jeffrey Ray Wiggins, and Heather Renee Wiggins face several charges after deputies served a search warrant at a home in the Cleveland area.

“Investigators located an active meth lab, two stolen motorcycles, a stolen car, a stolen gun, and property from two other burglaries,” the Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.

Deputies said they discovered stolen property from at least eight other stolen property cases.

“These guys have been allowed to run Pawnee County for years and years without worry,” said Pawnee County Sheriff Darrin Varnell. “We started gathering information on this case shortly after I took office and we finally had enough evidence to put them in jail and end their part of this thief ring.”

The sheriff’s office said children were inside the residence and known to stay at the home however, DHS took them into custody.

The three are currently in the Pawnee County jail.
