Father, son arrested for meth production

Michael Jones and his son, Bradley Jones were stopped by Trooper Rocky Rapert for a traffic violation. Trooper Rapert talked with the two and grew suspicious of their actions. Trooper Rapert called for K-9 Tess of Marked Tree to conduct a drug "sniff" of Jones' truck.

Officers from Lepanto and Poinsett County Sheriff's Department assisted as Tess conducted her search of the outside of the vehicle. Tess alerted on the vehicle which gave grounds for a complete search of the vehicle.

During the search, officers located a "one-pot" methamphetamine production inside the passenger compartment of the truck. The 20 ounce bottle was "venting" at the time causing a strong chemical odor. Two other 20 ounce bottles were located in a coat belonging to Bradley Jones. One was actively working, the other had already completed its process.

A hazardous materials clean-up crew from Little Rock responded to clean up the hazardous materials located in the Jones' vehicle. All three bottles are considered hazardous and explosive due to the chemical make-up inside the bottles.

Bond was temporarily set at $100,000 cash for each of the Jones'. They are to appear in the Poinsett County Circuit Court on April 27, before Judge David Laser.

Jeanna Grissom of Payneway was also arrested by Lepanto Officers for possessing an instrument of Crime. Her court date is set for April 6.
