An investigation by the 16th Judicial District Drug Task Force led to the discovery of an active methamphetamine lab and the arrest of three individuals in Fulton County this month.
According to the task force, authorities executed a search warrant on the residence after months of intelligence gathering regarding suspected methamphetamine possession and distribution at the property. The search, conducted in coordination with the Mammoth Spring Police Department and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, uncovered an operational methamphetamine lab. Officials described the lab as highly dangerous to both the occupants and the surrounding community due to the volatile nature of methamphetamine production.
In addition to the active lab, authorities seized several grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia, and multiple firearms during the operation.
The three individuals taken into custody at the scene were identified as Jame Roy Coffey, Danielle Richardson, and Glenn Caroll. Each is facing six felony charges, including manufacturing methamphetamine and simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, both classified as Class Y felonies. Other charges include possession of a controlled substance (more than 10 but less than 200 grams of methamphetamine), a Class A felony; felon in possession of a firearm and criminal use of prohibited weapons, both Class B felonies; and maintaining a drug premises, a Class C felony.
The case has been forwarded to the Prosecuting Attorney for the 16th Judicial District for review and potential prosecution. Investigators said the probe remains ongoing as they look into possible ties to wider drug trafficking networks in the region.
Authorities emphasized that the three individuals are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
