SYLACAUGA — The Talladega County Drug Task Force arrested five people on meth-related charges Tuesday.

Jason Murray, commander of the task force, said a search warrant executed at a house on St. John Street led to the arrests of the five Sylacauga residents.

Murray said authorities charged Steven Matherson, 56, Scott Harris, 30, and Brittany Yoder, 23, with first-degree manufacturing of a controlled substance.

Sherri Vick, 40, Christi Kelley, 37, Christopher Murray, 26, Matherson and Harris were also charged with possession of a controlled substance. Everyone but Vick was also charged with second-degree possession of marijuana.

Murray said a meth lab and about 3 grams of methamphetamine were found at the residence. He said manufacturing is Class A felony and possession is a Class C felony.

Murray said Matherson had a sentencing hearing set for this week before being arrested Tuesday. He said Matherson was sentenced to 10 years in prison on other meth-related charges.

“He was to be sentenced on Wednesday for previous distribution charges,” Murray said.

A $50,000 bond was set for Matherson and $25,000 for Harris and Yoder. Vick, Kelley and Murray posted their bonds of $5,000, according to a Talladega County Jail representative.

Also Tuesday, members of the task force executed a warrant at Lloyd’s Transmission Shop in Sylacauga. Murray said they arrested Lloyd Brownfield after finding 2 ounces of marijuana “packaged for resale.”

Brownfield was charged with first-degree possession and first-degree distribution. He was taken to the Talladega County Jail and his bond was set at $10,000. A county jail representative said Friday Brownfield had posted bond.

Murray said Brownfield was already out on bond after a 2009 arrest for possession and distribution. Murray said he expected a bond hearing for Brownfield in the next few days.

“We have requested that his bond be revoked because he committed another offense while out on bond,” Murray said.

Just curious...if all were at this residence then how come all weren't charged with manufacturing? How does 3 get charged and not all of them? And this has nothing to with their mothers trust me...it all has to do with addiction thats more powerful than a mothers teachings. This is not their first rodeo...

well JUST I BASE MY ASSUMPTIONS ON THE FACT MY MOMMA had four sons and our neighbor had five sons ,and not one of us has spent any time in prison or even a year in jail.Why?But our neighbors boys have on more than one occasion .Probably because their momma would bail them out and say pray for my sons but yet she did nothing to help stop their addictions only giving them more money and a flophouse to flop in because momma will make it better.Awww poor babies.And I see in this line up of outstanding citizens some of their kinfolk.I guess it runs in the family.So I thank god for mommas who actually know how to be mommas and make their boys be men.

Hey Hunch...Don't blame their mommas. Some of them had their backside tanned and still act a fool. As far as the one burn out, thank God they got him off the street, he's been destroying homes with drugs for 25 years or more. Why it took so long is beyond me.

B.G. I have asked others if they think they would like your pizza and I do not yet have one taker.But if we did feed it to folks in the county jail maybe they wouldnt want to go back and start doing good things in life.So maybe your recipe has a place after all.
