MOULTRIE —
Drug agents made their fourth methamphetamine-related arrest in the new year on Tues day with the arrest of a man and woman during a search of a Sylvester Drive residence.
Jerry Tidwell, 37, and Kelly Gunn, 33, were each charged with criminal attempt to manufacture methamphetamine, the Moultrie-Colquitt County Drug Task Force said.
The agency said that deputies who went to the residence with arrest warrants smelled a chemical odor like that common to the manufacture of methamphetamines.
Drug team officers were summoned and they searched the residence. During that search, materials believed to be used or which had been used previously to make the drug were found, the agency said. After the search, a hazardous materials disposal company was called to remove the materials.
Additional arrests are expected in the case, the agency said.
