Talladega Drug Arrests

Two Talladega County residents have been arrested on felony drug charges stemming from two different incidents.

23 year old Matthew Shane Green, was arrested Wednesday for manufacture and possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine, and for possession of drug paraphernalia. According to Talladega County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force Cmdr. Jason Murray, Green was arrested in connection with an incident Monday that had previously lead to the arrest of 21 year old Daniel Shann Hay,  and 18 year old Tyra Jordan Faulkner.

Murray said Talladega County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic violence call on Centerhill Road, near Sylacauga. When no one came to the door, Murray said, deputies went around to the side of the building and discovered a “shake and bake” style meth cook through the open back door.

Hay and Faulkner were arrested immediately, but Green was not home at the time.

The second arrest was made Wednesday afternoon when Talladega police responded to a possible burglary call on Grogan Road. It was not immediately clear if there had been actual entrance to the target residence.

32 year old Bobby Lee Trussell III,  of Talladega, along with two females, then appear to have fled the scene.

According to Chief Jason Busby, the two females were never charged with anything. Officers chased Trussell for a couple of blocks before one of them unholstered his weapon. Trussell then complied, without any further incident.
