Kevin Lee Gregory

A Fredericksburg, Virginia man who was arrested in Webster County on March 6, 2013 on a Fugitive from Justice warrant was charged today with 12 additional felony crimes.

Kevin Lee Gregory, age 42, was charged with seven counts of Operating or Attempting to Operate a Clandestine Drug Laboratory, Altering Meth Precursors, Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver, Conspiracy, Failure to Register as a Sex Offender, and Convicted Felon in Possession of a Firearm. Magistrate Richard Robertson set bail on these charges in the amount of $475,000.00.

According to the criminal complaints filed against Gregory by Sergeant Gerry Dornburg, on March 6, 2013, Dornburg received information that the accused was staying in a residence at 2514 Cleveland Road, Cleveland, Webster County, WV. Dornburg, along with assisting officers, entered the residence with the permission of the owner Kenneth Anderson, to apprehend Gregory who is a fugitive from justice for failure to register as a sex offender. While clearing the residence for officer safety, Gregory was located in a utility room and appeared to be hiding behind a clothes dryer and was also engaged in actively operating a clandestine drug lab.

The criminal complaint further states that Gregory was taken into custody and the active drug lab was seized. In plain view, officers saw what appeared to be two other drug labs and many of the precursors used to aid in the manufacture of drugs. Located on the bed of the accused was a loaded shotgun with a modified barrel length. Gregory is a convicted felon from Virginia prohibited from possessing firearms. Dornburg received a statement from Hubert Gregory, father of Kevin Gregory, that Kenneth Anderson was manufacturing drugs even before Kevin Gregory moved into the residence with Anderson. Upon the execution of a search warrant, Dornburg found four additional drug labs in the residence.
