The suspects were using a gallon jar, with chemicals inside that also had a rope tied from the top of the lid to the chemicals. The common street name for this type of cook is “DOPE ON A ROPE”, and is the first seizure of its type in Nacogdoches County using this method.

Five Deputy Constables from precinct 4 started the drug round up early Friday morning by executing a search warrant on Perry Street.

Jarcory Bussey and his wife, Melanie Arnold were recently arrested by the constable office on a search warrant on 04-06-2012 for multiple drug charges. Constable Bridges stated that there were also two young children living in the residence at the time under the age of 5 years old. During the search warrant deputies found crack cocaine concealed inside kids food in the pantry along with other drugs that were easily accessible to the children. Constable Bridges stated that his office worked with Child Protective Services to whom the children were released to. During that time we had the kids checked out medically and physically to make sure they were in good health. Drug screens on the children came back positive for multiple types of drugs. Bridges stated that Cocaine, Marijuana and Methamphetamine were found inside the two small children blood system. These were the same type of drugs that were also found at the residence. Additional charges were added, due to these parents placing their children in imminent danger.

During this investigation our office has conducted 7 search warrants that have resulted in over 10 pounds of marijuana being confiscated, 6 ounces of cocaine, 37 grams of crack cocaine, two ounces of methamphetamine, several guns and numerous stolen property.
Bridges stated that many of the defendants have been linked together and have been selling several pounds of marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine and methamphetamine in Nacogdoches County. These arrests will certainly play a large part in the amount of drugs being distributed in our county.
Constable Bridges stated that this is the Constable Office third drug round up in the last three years that has resulted in over 60 felony drug arrest. We are seeing a significant reduction in methamphetamine and other drugs in our precinct due to these arrest.
