Sallisaw Police were called to a Sallisaw motel on a complaint of prostitution and drugs Tuesday, and as a result, two Sallisaw residents were arrested, police said.

Sallisaw Officer Jeff Murray and Lt. Terry Franklin responded to a complaint of alleged prostitution and drug use at a room at Days Inn motel west of the intersection of U.S. Highways 59 and 64 in Sallisaw, police said.

When officers went to the door of the motel room, they were allowed inside the room by the occupants, police said.

The offers reported smelling a strong chemical odor inside the room. After receiving consent to search the room, police found chemicals and equipment commonly used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. Officers also found a quantity of white powder substance believed to be methamphetamine.

Frankie Kelly, 45, and Diana Logan, 35, both of Sallisaw, were arrested and booked into the city jail on charges of endeavoring to manufacture a controlled dangerous substance (CDS), trafficking CDS, possession of precursors, red phosphorous and pseudoephedrine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Kelly and Logan are being held on no bond until they appear before a judge, the police reported.

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.
