Page 12 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Arrest made in meth case Cave Junction resident Teresa Marie Hicks, 51, was arrested by a squad of depu- ties on charges of manufac- ture, distribution and posses- sion of a controlled sub- stance, methamphetamine, said Josephine County Sher- iff’s Office (JCSO). She was arrested at her residence at 203 W. Millie St. and taken to county jail in Grants Pass, said JCSO. The agency said that on March 6, Deputy George Gasperson, the city’s contract patrol officer, developed in- formation that Hicks was in possession of methampheta- mine. That information was turned over to a detective who wrote a search warrant for Hicks’ residence. At 4:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 7, six JCSO patrol deputies and a detective served a search warrant at the Millie Street address and found Hicks home with her 19-year-old son. A search of the residence resulted in the seizure of approximately one once of meth, scales, packag- ing material, $1,040 in cash and a surveillance system, said JCSO. The case was turned over to the district attorney. (Editor’s Note: Factual information for ‘Blotter’ is provided by official law enforcement agencies.
