Update on Past Weekend's Meth Arrests

As previously reported, on Friday, March 22, 2013, Amy Lynn Dodrill, age 25, was booked into the Central Regional Jail on several felony charges.

Warrants for Dodrill's arrest were issued on December 6, 2011, but Dodrill could not be located. Recently, Dodrill was arrested in the State of Florida and law enforcement from Webster County traveled to Florida to pick up Dodrill on the outstanding warrants, and she was subsequently arrested and jailed on the Webster County charges. Bail was set at $300,200.00.

According to the criminal complaint filed against Dodrill by State Police Trooper E.E. Bostic, on November 29, 2011, at 11:45 a.m., Bostic and Senior Trooper P.A. Huff received a recorded statement from Donald Short that on November 24, 2011 Short was at Dodrill's residence at 66 Kessler Lane, Webster Springs, and witnessed Matthew Friend in the back bedroom with a gas mask on "gassing" a meth lab from a tube. Short said Dodrill was present and had knowledge of the activity going on at her residence. Short said he saw the active meth lab and smelled the fumes from the active meth lab.

On November 29, 2011, at 1:30 p.m., Huff secured a search warrant for Dodrill's residence from Magistrate Richard Robertson. At 2:45 p.m., Bostic, Corporeal E.L. Loughridge, and West Virginia Parole Officer C. Bright entered Dodrill's residence and located multiple black plastic bags with trash from several meth labs, including pop bottles with meth leftovers, Drano cleaner, dissected lithium batteries, containers of ice packs, empty Coleman fuel, blister packs from Sudafed, and burnt aluminum foil from smoking meth. Sergeant C.D. Kelly advised there were six labs at the residence.

Dodrill has been charged with six felony counts of Conspiracy to Operate or Attempt to Operate a Clandestine Drug Laboratory, as well as misdemeanor Worthless Check crimes.

Also, as previously reported, three persons were booked into the Central Regional Jail early Sunday morning on meth related charges.

Dylan Lee Canada, age 18, Dustin Wade Perrine, age 18, and Samantha Dora Jean Skidmore, age 18, were each charged with the felony crimes of Operating or Attempting to Operate a Clandestine Drug Laboratory and Conspiracy.

According to the criminal complaints filed against the three by State Police Trooper E.E. Bostic, on March 24, 2013, at 12:15 a.m., Bostic and Trooper S.G. Blake located liquid Drano, lithium batteries, Coleman fuel, salt, and coffee filters at 6 Erbacon Road (Circle Brooke Manor Apartments). Bostic received a recorded statement Canada that he, Perrine, and Skidmore gathered the said meth precursors to operate a Clandestine Drug Laboratory and intended on operating said laboratory once they obtained pseudo ephedrine.
 
Magistrate Robertson set bail for each of the three at $100,000.00 each.
 
An arrest is not an indication of a person's guilt, but is merely an allegation made by a law enforcement officer based on probable cause that a person may have committed an offense.
