Anonymous tips lead Roland authorities to a possible methamphetamine lab Oct. 27.

Drew Allen Harvey, 24, of Roland was charged Nov. 3 in Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw, with burglary, larceny, manufacturing a controlled dangerous substance, possession of material with intent to manufacture and unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute.

On Oct. 27 Roland Police Officer Stephen Westbrook and Assistant Chief Billy Cannon went to speak with Harvey after the two officers received an anonymous tip about Harvey possibly being involved in a recent burglary. When Cannon and Westbrook arrived Harvey told the officers he did not have anything to do with the burglary and invited them in to search his home.

According to the report officers found a possible methamphetamine lab in the kitchen and a DVD player that had been reported stolen from another residence in the living room.

Harvey is being held in the Sequoyah County Jail on a $20,000 bond.


After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
