14-YEAR-OLD HAS PARENTS ARRESTED FOR DRUG COUNTS

{AP} - A Lowndes County couple have been jailed on drug charges after their
daughter reported them to sheriff's deputies.

Lowndes County narcotics agent Tim Howell said Shawn Harrison, 37, and his
wife, Nancy, 34, along with Stoney Ray, 36, were arrested Sunday on charges
of the manufacture and possession of methamphetamine.

Howell said the Harrison's 14-year-old girl alerted police after she said
she saw her mother and stepfather begin producing the drugs in their home.

Howell said deputies found two methamphetamine labs and confiscated the
drug-producing materials.

Howell said investigators had already been looking into the couple's
activities based on leads from informants and anonymous tips.

"We knew who they were," Howell said. "We've been investigating them for
about eight months."

Howell said lawmen got a search warrant after Shawn and Nancy Harrison
refused to allow an inspection of their residence.

He said officers found the materials used to make methamphetamines and also
obtained information that led to the execution of a second warrant for
Ray's home, where methamphetamine was found along with materials to make it.

Authorities said the manufacturing of methamphetamine can carry a maximum
sentence of 30 years, which could be doubled when there are juveniles
present while drugs are being manufactured.
