3 days + 4 search warrants = 15 felonies

RED OAK — Nine people were arrested in three days last week in Red Oak following several narcotics investigations by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department.

Wednesday, sheriff’s deputies arrested John Tallman, 30, and Tiffany Marts, 30, after a seizing more than a quarter-pound of maijuana from their residence at 301 W. 5th Street.

According to official reports, in addition to the marijuana, drug paraphernalia was also seized.

Tallman was charged with two counts of delivery of marijuana, one count of delivery of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with the intent to delivery and drug tax stamp violation. He is currently in custody on a $50,000 bond. Marts was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and drug tax stamp violation, and was later released on her own recognizance.

Thursday morning, deputies served a second search warrant that resulted in three additional felony charges for a Red Oak man already in jail.

Kyle Archer, 28, now faces three counts of delivery of methamphetamine after officers reportedly found methamphetamine and drug equipment at Archer’s residence at 608 E. Grimes.

Archer was also incarcerated at the Union County Jail on an unrelated matter, and will be sent to Montgomery County once that sentence is served.

Friday, officers served two final warrants, ending the investigation with six more arrests.  

Officers found a small amount of narcotics and drug paraphernalia at 1660 E. Summitt #214, resulting in the arrest of Leonard Wright, 32. Wright charged with three felony counts of delivery of methamphetamine. He remains in custody on a $50,000 bond.

Timothy Humphrey, 18, was also arrested at Wright’s residence on a Douglas County, Neb., warrant, charging him with possession of dangerous drugs. He was transferred to Douglas County authorities.

Natosha Cralley, 32, was cited with possession of drug paraphernalia after officers searched her home at 1109 Miller Avenue. Cralley was released after receiving the citation.
