In the early morning hours of 02/04/2009, Investigator Sammy Henderson and Deputy Ron Brewer arrested Billy Wayne Prentiss after a traffic stop North of Thrasher. Deputies discovered that Prentiss was in possession of a quantity of methamphetamine (several grams). Narcotics investigator Joey Clark is investigating the case. We have been having an increase in thefts in that area and the Deputies and Investigators have been focusing on any unusual or suspicious activities and/or vehicles. These Officers were very observant and did a great job. Prentiss was charged with possession of a controlled substance ( methamphetamine) with the intent to sell, transfer or distribute. His bond was set at $10,000. He was released on bond later that night.
