Eight arrested in meth house move cases to grand jury

Wednesday, March 26, 2008
A grand jury is expected to consider charges against eight persons arrested in connection with an alleged methamphetamine lab in Fowlkes.

All eight appeared in Dyer County General Sessions Court on Monday, March 24. Six participated in preliminary hearings and two waived their rights to a hearing.

The group was arrested March 10 after law enforcement officers noticed a strong odor of ether coming from inside 69 Peach Rd.

"While clearing the house the odor became stronger and smoke was coming from the bathroom area of the residence," arrest warrants stated. "After the house was cleared a white crystal substance that appeared to be methamphetamine was recovered inside the residence and outside the residence. The substance was packaged for individual resale."

Officers also reported found several glass pipes commonly used to smoke methamphetamine.

Those facing possible indictments include:

* Adam Neal Hogeland, 23, 4710 Highway 104 West, who faces charges of possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

* Danny Ray Jones Jr., 34, 65 Peach Road, who faces charges of possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and simple possession of marijuana.

* Donnie Dale Jones, 45, 545 Jamestown-Jenkinsville Road, who faces charges of possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

* Mabel Maxine Jones, 40, 545 Jamestown-Jenkinsville Road, who faces charges of possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

* Gena Ruth Lee, 23, 715 West Wheeler, who faces a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. A charge of possessing methamphetamines with intent to sell was dismissed.

* Jeffery Alan Long, 21, 210 W. Main St. in Halls, who faces a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. A charge of possessing methamphetamines with intent to sell was dismissed.

* Brian Lynn Prater, 22, 323 First Ave. in Evansville, who faces charges of possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

* James Ivan Riley, 32, 148 Pecan Lane, who faces charges of possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

the court system seems to be more interested in putting these people in jail than a man that murdered 2 people...

You're right tnmama, but they should do the time too!! Cause it is people like that, that get our children hooked on meth, or could possibly kill someone due to their addiction. People are CRAZY these days. I think they all should be locked up. Even the one that killed 2 people. But that is our legal system for you. The judges will let them go too. You watch and see, and they will find another house to cook their meth in. Thus problem NOT solved.

COLTSFAN, i keep seeing your comments on alot of articles. you dont know what you are talking about. all the sheriffs department and police department can do arrest them. once the da convincts them, all the judge can do is sentence them to what the law allows.

tnmamma you need to go back and reread the article on Mr. Eison. It said that charges would more than likely be issued against him again one all the evidence is in. He is still incarcerated in the prison in Henning due to parole violation, so I still feel fairly safe that this person is not on the streets again until justice is served.

Mythinking: I also would like to know where the money goes. I also would like to know where the money goes that the Dyer County Jail gets to feed their prisoners.I realise that they have all done wrong or they wouldn't be in jail and I'm not saying feed them filet mignon or anything loke that but they are starving them to death down there. When I say starving I'm not using that word loosely. They are actually starving them. The portions of food they get would not fill a 2 year old up and I do know what I'm talking about because I have a friend who works there. So wonder who's pockets that food money is going in. could it be somebody who is building a quarter million dollar house? Hmmm, it would have to be wouldn't it.

aalflyatt- First of all I have commented on all these stories on this issue except for one. And no you are not usually responding to me when I am typing cause most of yours are in the middle of the night and our time frame is nowhere around yours. As far as attacking no the last post was the only one that I was upset in. You are the one that is attacking EVERYONE. As far as FLIP FLOP show me under this headline where I have downed the Jones that are involved and said anything negative about them.

aalflyatt - and where do you get that one minute I say jail time and then the next minute sorry, I have never said that they need to go to jail. Reread and I guess write down what I said because it has never been in my post as far as the eight The only ones I know or KNOW OF is the 4 Jones and Lee. so dont know about the other 3 and definitely have not made any comments about them
