Thursday, July 17, 2014

Area law enforcement agencies made two drug-related arrests last week in Portageville. The Portageville Police Department (PPD) conducted a 6 a.m. drug raid last Thursday, on a residence at 712 E. Ninth Street in Portageville. The Gideon Police Department's drug dog assisted in the raid. Two suspects, Bryan Dale Jordan and Vickie Lindley, were arrested, after a probable cause warrant search produced narcotics and suspected drug-related paraphernalia. According to PPD Officer, Mark Stockton, police found an approximately one gram-sized plastic bag of a "crystal-like substance," three digital scales, and one water-type bong pipe containing a blue liquid, and three glass pipes. All these items, with the exception of two of the glass pipes, tested positive for methamphetamine. In addition, the search produced several plastic baggies, with torn-out corners, and a scanner for monitoring police radio traffic. The confiscated items were placed into evidence. Jordan and Lindley are being held in the New Madrid County Jail.
