Leslie Henry, 51, of 17130 Lilies Lane and Nicholas Meeks,52, of 25898 Roden Road, both in Trumann face charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver; possession or use of drug paraphernalia to plant, grow, etc.; possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to use and possession of controlled substance-"marijuana."

The charges stem from a consent to search which was executed at Meeks home at 5:54 p.m. Sunday, July 13.

According to arresting officer Deputy Chris Holt of the Poinsett County Sheriff's Department, he, with the assistance of Deputies New and Wright, approached Meeks at his home and requested to search the home. Meeks, who was under order from Judge Steve Inboden based on a previous arrest on July 3 to allow a "deemed necessary" search at any time, at first asked that the search not begin until his girlfriend returned.

The officers complied with the request and followed Meeks into his back yard where Meeks asked if the officers wished to play some horseshoes. They refused, but when Holt approached the back door of the house where Wright was talking to Henry, he noticed a strong chemical smell coming from the house.

Also at that time Holt saw a number of tanks and jugs sitting at the back door and a black garbage bag containing a number of items consistent with the manufacture of methamphetamine. Both suspects were immediately taken into custody and searched.

In the search, Meeks was found with 13 grams of meth and $4,160. in cash. The two suspects were advised of their rights then taken into custody whereupon Meeks signed a consent form and the officers began searching the home.

Investigator Mark Robinson and Arkansas State Police officer Keat Cohn came to the scene and processed the evidence.

Meeks and Henry were then transported to the detention center to await a probable cause hearing.
