Former clerk gets more meth charges
|
The suspect, Bridget Werkheiser, 43, is charged with manufacture of meth while her boyfriend, Thomas Wayne McBride, 49, is charged with manufacture of meth and maintaining a dwelling for drug manufacture.
They were arrested this week at McBride’s Mt. Leo Heights home after lawmen raided the residence. According to Sheriff Jackie Matheny, several complaints had been received alleging drug activity there and surveillance of the house revealed a high amount of traffic coming and going.
When officers raided the house, Matheny said they found numerous items commonly used in the production of meth.
The bust comes while Werkheiser was free on bond awaiting trial on charges arising from her alleged drug dealing at her former place of work at Scot Market. The clerk was arrested after lawmen set up a sting operation at the store in January and allegedly observed her conduct a drug transaction there with another man. Investigators hid in the roof area of the store and used closed-circuit video to catch her red-handed. She was arrested at the scene and also terminated by her employer.
