HALTOM CITY POLICE ARREST 4 ON AMPHETAMINE CHARGES

HALTOM CITY -- Four suspects were arrested and more than 130 grams of
amphetamine were seized during the weekend after investigators staked out
an apartment complex on Oak Knoll Drive and stopped motorists leaving the
premises, police said.

In addition to the amphetamine, police said, about 13 grams of marijuana, a
shotgun, a ski mask, stolen credit cards, a rubber mask and several driver
licenses were confiscated.

About 90 grams of amphetamine were found in vehicles and another 44 grams
of the drug were confiscated in the apartment at 1300 Oak Knoll Drive,
police said.

After being told that drugs were being sold in the apartment, police began
a surveillance at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Haltom City Assistant Police Chief
Roger Macon said.

Three vehicles were stopped at various times Friday night and early
Saturday as they left the apartment, Macon said. Patrol officers stopped
the motorists on a variety of traffic violations, police said.

During searches of the vehicles, police said, officers found the
amphetamine, marijuana, a shotgun, the two masks and the stolen items. A
27-year-old Haltom City woman was arrested in the apartment, police said.

The motorists who were arraigned on charges of possession of a controlled
substance included Joshua Adam Brawner, 20, of North Richland Hills; Danny
White, 32, of Everman; and Margaret Frances Dudley, 38, address unknown.

Dudley was in Haltom City Jail yesterday without bail on suspicion of a
Tarrant County probation violation. Brawner also was in the jail, with bail
set at $3,500.
