Four arrested in Cleburne County Drug Bust

Authorities have charged four people with drug charges after executing a search warrant at a home in Hollis Crossroads in Cleburne County.  40 year old  Christian Marie Parrish,  and 29 year old Carolyn Jewel Wright, both of Heflin, were charged with two counts of felony possession of a controlled substance, and misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, including pipes, scales and rolling papers.  47 year old Richie Scott Marks, of Heflin was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor possession of marijuana and felony possession of drug paraphernalia including a can of Coleman fuel and a bag of fertilizer. The fertilizer and fuel can be used in the production of methamphetamine, leading to the felony charge.  In addition, 69 year old William Roy Marks, of Carrollton, Ga., was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. The senior Marks, Richie Scott Marks’ father, was visiting the home.  The officers had obtained a search warrant based on information they had received that drugs were being sold at the location on U.S. 431. From the items found in the home, the officers believe the residents were making methamphetamine.
