Local police officers and deputies conduct search warrant that results in them finding a suspect trying to flush narcotics.

 

The Loretto Police department shared on their page that early Saturday morning they conducted a search warrant at a residence on First Avenue with the assistance from Lawrence County deputies.

Once officers were inside the home they found Andy Perry attempting to flush methamphetamine along with several items of paraphernalia down the toilet in which he was unsuccessful in doing so.

During the search police seized 12 grams of Methamphetamine, 24 fluid ounces of liquid meth, and several items of paraphernalia where Perry was arrested on charges of possession of schedule II (Meth) for resale, possession of drug paraphernalia, and tampering with evidence.

The department ended the post with some light humor by saying, "Folks…please don’t flush your drugs m’kay. When you send something down the sewer pipe it ends up in our retention ponds for processing before it is sent down stream. Now our sewer guys take great pride in releasing water that is cleaner than what is in the creek, but they are not really prepared for meth. Ducks, Geese, and other fowl frequent our treatment ponds and we shudder to think what one all hyped up on meth would do. Furthermore, if it made it far enough we could create meth-gators in Shoal Creek and the Tennessee River down in North Alabama. They’ve had enough methed up animals the past few weeks without our help. So, if you need to dispose of your drugs just give us a call and we will make sure they are disposed of in the proper way."
