Two Sallisaw residents were recently arrested for various drug-related violations.

Clayton D. Meadows, 24, and Rebecca L. Meadows, 24, both of Sallisaw, were arrested on Nov. 10 after a police investigation revealed marijuana in the couple's home, according to court records.

At about 7:51 a.m. Nov. 10, Sallisaw Police Detective John Weber, along with Sallisaw officers and Lance Yoakum with the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department, served a search warrant at the Meadows' home in the 800 block of East Mary.

Police gained entry to the home after no one answered the front door, and secured two suspects, identified as Clayton and Rebecca Meadows.

Weber reported that he met with Clayton Meadows and told him they had a warrant to search the home for illegal drugs. Meadows allegedly admitted that he had marijuana and scales inside his bedroom and showed police where the items were.

In the bedroom, police uncovered a bag wrapped inside another bag containing a green leafy substance that field-tested positive for the presence of marijuana. They also allegedly found another bag containing a substance that field-tested positive for marijuana.

Other items found included a wooden grinder, rolling papers, a smoking pipe, and a medicine bottle that had a dark residue and odor that was consistent with burnt marijuana, Weber reported.

Rebecca Meadows also admitted that they had marijuana in their bedroom and described the same locations that her husband had already showed police.

Both were booked into the city jail on various charges. Police also uncovered four firearms in the home.

According to the police report, the Meadows allegedly admitted to knowing about the illegal drugs and allegedly told police that they both used drugs.

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.
