CHILDERSBURG — The execution of a search warrant by the Talladega County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force resulted in the arrests of four people and the seizure of several types of drugs.

According to task force commander Jason Murray, the warrant was executed Tuesday night at 318 Coosa Pines Drive (Plant Road). Cynthia Prentice, 39, and her daughter, Keyonna Prentice, were arrested inside the house.

Cynthia Prentice, who was on probation out of Shelby County, was charged with possession of marijuana in the first degree and possession of crack cocaine, Xanex, Hydrocodone and Oxycontin. The daughter had crack, methamphetamine, Hydrocodone, Xanex and Oxycontin, as well as a misdemeanor quantity of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

While the warrant was being executed, a car drove up to the house with Darius Pope, 26, of Kymulga and Kenneth Lamar Kelly Jr., 27, who lived at the house.

Pope was arrested for felony marijuana possession, and Kelly was charged with possession of a controlled substance for crack cocaine and methamphetamine. He also had a small quantity of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a pistol, which he is not allowed to have because of a previous felony conviction.

Cynthia Prentice’s and Kelly’s bonds were set at $25,000 on the warrants signed by Circuit Judge Julian King. Keyonna Prentice’s bond was $15,000 and Pope’s was $10,000, also set by King.

Unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana in the first degree and being a certain person forbidden to carry a firearm are all Class C felonies in Alabama, punishable upon conviction by one year and one day to 10 years in prison.

Possession of marijuana in the second degree and possession of drug paraphernalia are misdemeanors punishable by up to 12 months in the county jail.
