A Washington County man was served on Wednesday with an outstanding arrest warrant that charged him with being a party to the offense of manufacturing methamphetamine.
Troy D. Ward, of Bowmantown Road, was charged in connection with an Oct. 21, 2008 incident in which sheriff's deputies served a search warrant at 3540 Jockey Road after receiving a complaint about suspected drug activity there.
Ward, according to the arrest warrant, is charged with being at the residence during the manufacturing of the methamphetamine. His bond was set at $50,000.
OTHER SUSPECTS
Several other suspects were charged last year in connection with the incident.
On Oct. 31, Gregory Heath Cox, 28, of 231 Butchertown Road, Fall Branch, was arrested on a warrant that charged him with being a party to the offense of initiation of a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
The arrest warrant said witnesses told Det. Sgt. Mike Fincher that Cox was present on Oct. 21 when the witnesses discovered a meth lab inside an apartment at 3540 Jockey Road.
Albert Roy Fox, 32, of 3540 Jockey Road, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Greg Tipton on Oct. 28, 2008, on an outstanding warrant that charged him with initiation of a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
The arrest warrant charged Fox, who was a resident of an apartment in the former Silvers' Store building at the intersection of Jockey Road and Liberty Hill Road South, with initiation of a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine on Oct. 21.
Arrested earlier by sheriff's deputies was Bruce Silvers, 45, of 3540 Jockey Road, who was charged with initiation of a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine.
Heather L. Slone, 23, of 432 Big Limestone Road, Limestone, was charged last November with being a party to the offense of initiation of a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine on Oct. 21.
Slone also was charged with reckless endangerment for allegedly having had her "infant child" at the Jockey Road apartment where a witness discovered a meth lab and reported the discovery to the sheriff's department.
