Two Sallisaw residents were arrested on drug and firearms charges Tuesday as a result of an ongoing investigation into the illegal distribution of methamphetamine in Sequoyah County.

District 27 District Attorney's Drug Task Force, the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department, the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service, and the Vian Police Department served search warrants on two homes north of Sallisaw.

Agents reported finding substances appearing to be methamphetamine, along with paraphernalia commonly used with the distribution and use of controlled dangerous substances.

Gordon Hendricks and Angela Hendricks, both of Sallisaw, were arrested as a result of the drug investigation.

Gordon Hendricks, 42, and Angela Hendricks, 31, were each booked into the county jail on charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, possession of firearm in commission of a felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Jail records indicate their bonds were each set at $25,500.

While serving the second search warrant, agents reported finding substances appearing to be methamphetamine, paraphernalia commonly associated with use of drugs, and firearms.

No one was at the home at the time the search warrant was served, but that, pending further investigation, arrests in the case are expected, agents said.

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.
